This Date That Year

March 14: Pi Day

I didn't know until I read on Mar 14, that it is celebrated as a Pi day because of 3/14. I, having done my Bachelors in Mathematics, have always been fascinated by this number. I have seen the movie and also read several articles and books on the subject. Movie is very disturbing though.

I just thought I would share it with everyone, since not everyone knows about this day. We celebrate so many days why not this. At least to me it is just a way to celebrate the association with mathematics. It also happens to be Albert Einstein's birthday.

Check this out, you would get all the information about Pi here,
