Happy (now official) Pi Day

Lincoln Russell 14 Mar, 2009 at 2:30pm ET Article published in Tech

The US House of Representatives passed a resolution declaring March 14, 2009 (3.14) to be National Pi Day. It encourages schools to engage students “about the study of mathematics” and Pi in particular. How they will do this on a Saturday I do not know. Somehow, it received bipartisan support.

To observe this holiday here at ICHQ, I will teach Brian’s kids all about Pi. The kind with apples and cinnamon.
