Pi Day


It’s March 14th, or 3.14, the day geeks around the world know to be Pi day. This is the number one day of the year to celebrate your favorite mathematical constant!
If you take the day really seriously you can celebrate at 26 and a half seconds after 1:59pm (3.14159265 is pi truncated to 8 decimal places) but we’ll just be enjoying the entire day.
And just so you don’t embarrass yourself today, please don’t forget this one key fact: Pi is the ratio between the diameter of a circle and its circumference. That’s pretty basic knowledge for some, but if you’ve been out of school for a few years it’s easy enough to forget and think it’s the radius instead.
The awesome video below tell’s us unsecured loans what exactly pi sounds like. Sounds impossible? Give it a watch, it’s actually quite clever. Warning: you might learn something watching it.
How are you celebrating pi day? Baking a pi pie? Going to measure the circumference of column and bad credit loans discern the diameter? Or are you lazy and just waiting for pi approximation day (22/7 or July 22nd) to celebrate?
