Math fans around the world celebrate Pi Day on March 14 or 3/14 — the first three digits of an infinite number with many uses. Many mark the day with a slice of pie — sweet, savory or even pizza

pi r squared?
No, pie are round

Cornbread r squared.

A bunch of geeks said “hey, this gives us an excuse to eat pie”. And then thanks to the internet even non-geeks found out and started using it. Because life is short, have some pie.

squared and times 2 are different.

Well it’s a division problem with no end doing it once. You don’t keep dividing it like you .5 example. The circumference divided by the diameter of any circle will result in this number that only ends with your patience to keep working the math. AND it’s one of the most useful constants in the world. Anybody doing anything where they’re making circles needs pi, there’s no way to know how much tile to buy without pi. Your car is running 2 different calculations with pi every time you make it move (your speedometer and odometer are both calculated on 2 pi R).

So it’s a pretty cool number.

It is because pi is what is called a transcendent number. That is a number that cannot be expressed as a standard number or root of a number. Another example is e.

Not pie unless its chocolate.

Triple Chocolate Cream Pie.

It is not an infinite number. It has a finite value. It just has an infinite number of digits.

More properly, it is a fixed relationship value of any circle. The circumference of a circle related to it's diameter.

[goo goo g'joob]

So, how can we ever know its finite value?

picture a number line - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9...

pi has exactly 1 spot on that line - just like 1, 4 1/2, 7.2...

just because you write down another decimal place digit to the "approximation", the value of pi does not change or change locations on the number line

When I was getting my deep dive certification in Monterey, they said “think of something unusual and lets see if you can remember it at 120ft”
I passed!

An old joke from the country was of a young man who went to the big city to attend college. On his return, his father asked him, “What’d you larn?”

He said, “Pi r square, pap!”

“You idjit,” said his father. “Pi are round. Cake are square!”
