What is Pi Day?

Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant (pi), observed on March 14th.

This date was chosen because the numerical date format in the United States is 3/14, which represents the first three significant digits of pi, 3.14.

Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and is a fundamental element in mathematics, particularly in geometry and trigonometry.

Pi Day is not just for mathematicians; it has become popular in schools and among math enthusiasts around the world.

It’s often marked by various educational and fun activities centered around mathematics. Such as pi recitation competitions (where participants try to recall pi to the highest number of decimal places), pie baking and eating (a play on the word “pi”), and discussions about the importance of mathematics in everyday life.

It’s both a celebration of mathematics and an opportunity to educate and inspire interest in the subject.
