3.14159265358979323846



and not just that, today is extra special because it is also einstein's birthday!

to celebrate this day, let's all read a bit more about pi. did you know that pi is irrational? and since pi is irrational, there are many approximation schemes used by mathematicians to obtain the value of pi, with 22/7 being one of the more famous approximations. it's really too bad that you can easily proof that 22/7 exceeds the value of pi.

does anyone want to go eat some pi today? i'm going to marie callender with some friends around 9pm. if you want to join in on the pi day festivities, let me know.
