If PI goes on without end how can you ever truly find the circumference or diameter of a circle?

Reminds me of the old MIT football cheer:

e to the x, dy/dx
e to the x, dx
secant tangent cosine sine
3.14159!

Wasn’t it an Indiana school board that tried to pass a rule to make Pi equal to exactly 3.00? Because 3.14159265... was “too hard” for the kids.

If I can remember the spelling the following “poem” gives PI to twenty places.

I heard this close to sixty years ago. For those educated in the public schools: count the letters in each word.

Sir. I bear a rhyme excelling
in mystic force and magic spelling
celestial sprites elucidate
all my own striving cant relate.

Tight Lines
Right Turns

Pi Day is celebrated by math enthusiasts around the world on March 14th.

I celebrate it on 22/7 (July 22nd).
