Happy Pi Day
Today is Pi Day.
When I was a child in elementary school math classes, I learned about Pi. I think it was from Mr. Stromen in sixth grade. I was really impressed–there was some magical number out there that was so amazing it couldn’t even be depicted completely in my textbooks, and it was the key to the universe. Maybe not the whole universe, but enough of it that I found Pi pretty awesome.
I remember thinking it must be some very advanced new scientific discovery, and I went home and told my parents about it, and I was disappointed that they already knew about Pi.
Oh well. I still relish the joy of learning about dear, sweet Pi. It will always be my one true love for the purpose of determining the circumfrence and area of a circle.
I will have to add this to my list of why March is an awesome month!
Since you are such a fan of Pi, I thought you might enjoy this article.
