Post by: Ms. OBrien CVT on March 14, 2013, 08:52:29 AM
No Devlin, it isn't that kind. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-2.gif&hash=923c682388a8cabcd6dffaa51761530cad754750)

Today is National Pi Day.  3.14.

So Happy Pi Day for all the math geeks. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-3.gif&hash=f49e2f86761323f2abd9c33941920389dbb3b10f)

My TI-83+ would only display as far as 3.141592654, so that's as far as I have it memorized :)

Well Janet,

For those who would like their Pi and eat it too, maybe this will do the trick

One can make the case that it should be known as Half Tau Day. 

The Tau Manifesto states it better than I do at: http://tauday.com/ (http://tauday.com/)

But, that said, it is an interesting exercise in thinking through mathematical relationships and how to express them in out numeric system.
