Every march 14, math becomes as easy as pi(e). It's pi day. pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference (the distance around the circle) to its diameter (the distance straight across its center) . That ratio never changes. The distance around a circle is aways a little over three times the distance straight across it.
rounded to nearest hundredth pi equals 3.14 so the perfect day to celebrate the unchanging dimensions of a circle is the 14th day of the third month of the year. And the perfect way to celebrate pi day is of course with pie! people enjoy small pies and large ones apple pies and pizza pies pies backed into numbers or the shape of Greek litter pi. sometimes people from human pi like the student in this picture. March 14, pi day is also physicist Albert Einstein 's birthday . princeton University where Einstein taught for many year hosts an annual birthday party, with puzzle contests a parade and plenty of pizza pi for more about pi day. visit piday. org.
