Happy Pi Day!
C-Net has a story today that Washington has declared today “National Pi Day” (you see, it is 3/14, after all). Here’s a quote:
The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a resolution introduced two days earlier that designates March 14, 2009 (3/14, get it?) as National Pi Day. It urges schools to take the opportunity to teach their students about Pi and “engage them about the study of mathematics.”
Backing the measure is a collection of technology and engineering groups, including the Association for Competitive Technology, the American Chemical Society, the Biotechnology Industry Organization, IEEE, TechAmerica, and TechNet.
Celebrate today by doing some math, or perhaps renting Darren Aronofsky’s first major hit film of the same name.
