Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the
world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a
constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which
is approximately 3.14159.
Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond
its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue
infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are
needed for typical calculations, Pi’s infinite nature makes it a fun challenge
to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits.
Become a part of the celebration! Welcome to the 27th
annual Pi Day, the mathematical holiday founded at the Exploratorium and
celebrated by number lovers around the world. To honor the never-ending number
3.14159 and Einstein’s birthday, you are welcome to observe and take part in
unique π-themed activities, rituals, antics, and plenty of pie. Find out what
is so special about this famous mathematical constant, and take your (decimal)
place in our annual march to the Pi Shrine!
