So today is the coveted Pi Day, where pi gets all the glory it deserves by the sheer importance to the everyday world, as well as in the realm of math. So here’s some thoughts to consider:

• Why not try memorizing all the digits of pi? Okay, okay, not all, since not only is it infinite, but also transcendental, meaning that there is no overarching pattern between the digits, unlike the number 1/7, which is .142857142857142857… , and the pattern is just the digits 142857 repeated over and over ad infinitum. I can do around a hundred – how about you?
• Eat some pie. Yeah yea, it’s not really pi, but hey, without pi, one can’t make in the favorite circular shape that we associate with yummy goodness. Mm hmm!
• Pi is not really the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle, but rather a Greek letter that represents that ratio. Go find some other usages of the letter, whether in math, or even go to the Greek NT and count how many times it is used there, maybe you’ll find a secret message …not. =P
