International Pi-day

[Palinurus]

I'm dead certain there used to be a thread for this topic but I couldn't find it.

Anyway, it's that time of year again: 3/14 !

Hail to all mathematicians and many happy returns.

At least one international festive act that's non-controversial, OSIT. Count your blessings...

Those who miss out on Pi day can look forward to Tau day on June 28

for some history:

No, really, pi is wrong: The Tau Manifesto

For millennia, the circle has been considered the most perfect of shapes, and the circle constant π captured the geometry of the circle in a single number. But π is wrong, and it’s time to set things right.

Oy, I stand corrected. Even Pi-day isn't non-controversial anymore...

Thanks thorbiorn for bringing me up-to-date.
