Thursday, March 14 marks National Pi Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the mathematical constant π, which represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.
Known as π, the first letter of the Greek word “perimetros,” meaning “circumference,” this number is typically rounded down to 3.14. However, it can actually go on forever, with the most accurate value for Pi calculated to over 62 trillion digits by the University of Applied Sciences in Switzerland.
