Pi Day: It Only Comes Once a Century

3/14/2015

For most people, tomorrow, March 14, 2015, will be just an ordinary Saturday. For math enthusiasts, however, tomorrow is Pi (π) Day, a celebration that only comes once each century. Two times on March 14, 2015 – at 9 hours, 26 minutes and 53 seconds, (both a.m. and p.m.), the date and time will exactly match those of the first 10 digits of the mathematical constant pi (3141592653).

In the math world, pi represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. In the food world, pie represents spicy apple, sweet strawberry, creamy coconut custard, tart lemon meringue…well you get the idea. And don’t forget moon pies, pizza pies, and pot pies.
