Starting off..

I shall start off with the blog, although it is a bit behind schedule.

Today, I will be talking about the Pi day and the things related to Pi.

First, what is pi?
Pi is a mathematical constant with the value of 22/7, and is written as π.

There are a few days that are used to celebrate this mathematical constant we see ever so frequently.

The first three digit of Pi is 3.14. Therefore, Pi Day is observed on March 14, which happens to be the birthdays of Albert Einstein and Waclaw Sierpinski. The U.S. Congress passed a resolution, recognizing the 14th March this year as National Pi Day.

There is also the Pi minute, which is celebrated on 1:59 pm of March 14. Pi Second would be March 14, 1:59:26 pm, which all the numbers chained together would make the first 7 digits of Pi.

Interestingly, The Massachusetts Institute of Technology often mails its acceptance letters to be delivered to prospective students on Pi Day.

Also, Pi day is celebrated widely across the whole world, for example in India, it is celebrated every year at Tezpur University.

Another interesting fact about the Pi Day is that on this day in 2004,a guy called Daniel Tammet calculated and recited a whooping 22,514 decimal digits of pi from memory, a very incredible feat, making him the European record holder.

However, Pi is not only celebrated on the 14 of March. There are other days in which Pi are celebrated too. These days are know as Pi Approximation Day. This day is observed on 22 July, which can be written as 22/7, the fractional expression for Pi.

There are also other days that are known as the Pi Approximation Day too. One would be the 10th of November, which is the 314th day of the year (November 9 on leap years). December 21, 1:13 pm is also another day in this category, as December 21 is the 355 day of the year, in accordance to the chinese approximation of 355/113.

That shall be all for today,
