Pi: Day 107


Pi is an irrational number and mathematical constant derived from the ratio of a circles circumference to its diameter, 3.1415926535...and on and on it goes. Today's date, March 14th 2015 or 3.14.15, is recognized as Pi Day. Mathematician Archimedes was the first to accurately calculate the value of Pi using multi-sided polygons roughly 2,000 years ago, and this special number has since become an essential component of engineering, statistics, cosmology, and the list goes on. There's nothing more fitting than a home baked pie to celebrate a brilliant number. Happy Pi Day everyone.
