Pi Day

An off-topic note for math geeks.


Pi.jpg
The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is an irrational number that cannot be represented exactly in decimals or fractions.  It shows up in a surprising number of places in science.  So 3/14/15 at 9:26:54 is a day and time for math geeks the world over to raise a glass to this strange and wonderful number.  (Coffee if a.m., beer if p.m.)

I was at a special ceremony for this at the Griffith Park Observatory last night. I think I win nerd of the week for this.

Hearing no objection, it is so ordered.
