MIDWAY, FL - Math lovers, get excited!
Today, March 14th is National PI Day.
On Second Cup, we talked about the background of this math symbol, the Greek letter PI.
PI is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to it's diameter.
Keeping it simple, it's 3.14, like March 14th.
But some people have even dared to calculate PI to more than one trillion digits beyond the decimal point.
Also, some people challenge themselves to memorize as many of those numbers past the decimal point.
Meteorologist Alex Cordero has memorized 10 digits.
Feel free to celebrate PI Day in an irrational way, since PI is an irrational number.
