Community Happenings: March 14 2017

Happy Pi Day! For some, today will be about celebrating the mathematical constant (π) while for this Community Manager, it’s about how to fit actual pie into my day.

 

I’m eating pizza later so that counts right? Yet if I’m honest, I’ll find a way to incorporate a sweet pie into my day at some point.

 

Before I go on about pie (there’s strawberry, cherry, apple…) here’s what’s going on in the Community:

Oh! I love Pi day. This makes me a total nerd, I know, but when I was a teen I set about memorizing the table of squares, and the decimal form of Pi. I've forgotten most of the squares past 15², but in those still, quiet moments I still roll off Pi to the 50th decimal place every now and then just for kicks.

That's absolutely amazing, Faith! Color me impressed and a little bit in awe. I think I have a new goal now for next year's Pi Day!

Pi Day is a great way to get children involved in celebrating mathematics. For adults, well for thosevof us that love dat....need I say more? Happy Pi Day!

It's often confusing going from Australian date format to USA date format, but this is definitely a vote in USA's favour. Love the date/math pun.

Nearly as good as StarWars day
