PI DAY


The number of digits in each word of this poem correspond to the digits of PI: 


Now I, even I, would celebrate in rhymes inept,the great immortal Syracusan rivall'd nevermorewho in his wondrous lore passed on beforeleft men his guidance how to circles mensurate.




The number π (/paɪ/) is a mathematical constant. Originally defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, it now has various equivalent definitions and appears in many formulas in all areas of mathematics and physics. It is approximately equal to 3.14159.

Pi Day

Pi may be infinite, but Pi Day is not. Celebrate Pi Day on March 14 in recognition of its common abbreviation, 3.14. Double the fun and make it a party for Albert Einstein, whose birthday is also on March 14.
