Birmingham, Alabama – Pi Day, that special date that rolls around every 3rd month of 14th day each year, is a day to honor the irrational, yet powerfully significant number – Pi (3.14…). Math enthusiasts, students and teachers alike, have a special fondness for this date, as it gives them a chance to express their love for math and the iconic irrational number, Pi.
Pi, denoted by the Greek letter “π,” is recognized in mathematics as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Characteristically infinite and non-repeating, Pi is essemtially limitless, much like the passion of the learners who have undertaken the pursuit to memorize the seemingly never-ending decimal.
