Happy Pi-Day Eve, everyone.
Now I will a rhyme construct,
By chosen words the young instruct.
Cunningly devised endeavour,
Con it and remember ever.
Widths in circle here you see,
Sketched out in strange obscurity.


To prepare for tomorrow's holiday, I will now hotlink to some formulas involving pi. I hope your enjoyment is transcendental.

2. My younger sister's b'day is Pi Day
She is appropriately enough, a bookkeeper...
I must say though...Your post is bringing back some really baaad memories of extremely taxing math classes to me..Oh well at least there are no word problems involving natural logs and exponential growth..That was truly horrific to me.....:scared:

3. I prefer to celebrate the anniversary of E-DAY, which last occurred
on February 7th, 1918.
Looking forward to the next one in 10 years.

4. Ever since I read "Contact", I've had my deep suspicions about pi...
Somewhere, in a simple circle, the secret of life is hidden! :P

Notice my logo is 2 bisected circles. I absolutely <3 π! :D

How about a tee with π calculated out to 1 million on the back? That would rock!

9. Engineers celebrate Pi month
Old joke: A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer were asked to define π. The mathematician said, "π is the number expressing the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter." The physicist answered, "π is 3.1415927plus or minus 0.00000005." The engineer said that π is about 3.
