Today is Pi Day.

What the heck is Pi Day you ask? It’s to celebrate arguably the world’s most popular mathematical constant.

Why this day? Well, March 14th is close to 3.14. Precisely, this event is often celebrated at on 03/14 at 1:59, which further plays on the numerical value of pi.

Of course in the epicentre of all that is math, UW definitely did not waste this superb opportunity to party. The math student association, MathSoc, held a celebration by giving out various types of pie.

It is then followed by a recitation of pi. Through memory. Hmm, what comes after 3.14159?

Anyways, I think it’s a very neat day, and everyone should stand up and wish someone a happy Pi Day.

Maybe I should dress up as a circle. Better not, a circle is not a flattering body shape.

Addendum: I should really to proofread before posting.
