International Pi Day in March 14th (3.14), and there’s good news! In order to get the most out of this annual, world-wide celebration, no math is required. Unless you want to add up all the savings you can snag on pie (with an e) in honor of the mathematical constant π (pi).
Even if you can’t remember any digits beyond 3.14, here are the basics:
Pi or π, is a ratio. It is the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter—meaning that the distance around the edge of a circle is a tad more than three times the distance across the circle. The number is exceptional because it is necessary to calculate thousands of things we use every day. Here are just a few fun pi facts:
- Pi never ends. It literally goes on for millions of digits past the decimal point.
- The Guinness World Record holder for reciting the most digits of π from memory is Rajveer Meena, who recited 70,000 digits in a little over nine hours.
- March 14 is Albert Einstein’s birthday (born in 1879). And in Princeton, New Jersey, where he lived for over 20 years, the town celebrates with an Einstein look-alike contest every year.
- Had no one ever calculated the ratio, circular shapes would still exist, but our world would look much different. As an example, all four of your car’s tires would be only roughly the same size.
- NASA uses up to 15 digits of π in its calculations for sending spacecraft to other planets.
