Though it was one day early, we celebrated the date 3.14 (March 14) and therefore “Pi” Day. And what better way to celebrate then eat Pie all day, which is what Mr. McCleary’s family gets to do!
The concept of Pi was used as early as the Egyptians (2613 BC) in the creation of the pyramids. It has continued to be used throughout many cultures since then as a mathematical constant. Did you know that there is no fractional equivalent for Pi? It is also the longest number I know of (it actually never ends) that has no repeating pattern in it’s digits. We use it to figure out the area of a circle but it also has many other uses in science and engineering. So let’s celebrate. HAPPY PI DAY! And enjoy your Pies.
