Happy PI Day


Dear All

Pi Day is held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (3/14) ,due to π being roughly equal to 3.14.

Pi Minute is also sometimes celebrated on March 14 at 1:59 p.m. If π is truncated to seven decimal places, it becomes 3.1415926, making March 14 at 1:59:26 p.m., Pi Second (or sometimes March 14, 1592 at 6:53:58 a.m.).
The Pi Day celebration includes public marching, consuming fruit pies and playing pi games... The founder of Pi Day was Larry Shaw, a now retired physicist at the Exploratorium who still helps out with the celebrations.
HAPPY PI DAY :)
