Did someone say PIE?

[Pic removed... Sorry folks, Pie... er, I mean, Pi Day is over.]

Ah yes, I remember Pi, and how it's worth an estimate of 3.14. (by estimate, it's longer than 3.14) I saw it in my math assignments.

Also, check out this interesting video about Pi:



Also, that image in the post that started this thread IS mind blowing!

Happy White Day too for anyone that cares or even knows about it :P

First time I heard about this idea was when as an undergraduate I bought a useful-looking book, The elliptic functions as they should be, unaware that it was proposing to rewrite all the formulae using this different constant, and so wasn't a great deal of use. I still have the book somewhere, in pretty good condition. I'd be willing to sell it for $450, thus undercutting the Amazon marketplace trader.

"Pi Day" sounds irrational. I prefer to call it "Einstein's Birthday".

And pi is better than tau since if I have a pizza of height a and radius z, its volume is pi*z*z*a.

Coincidentally I ate a steak and kidney pie (one of the better examples of British cuisine) on the 14th, though I didn't realise people celebrate it.

Reminds me of this song:


At one point (about 2:50 in) he recites the first several digits of pi, and allegedly the guitar played along with it corresponds to the numbers in some way.
