What is “Pi Day” and why should I care?
Every year on March 14, math enthusiasts and pie enthusiasts come together to celebrate Pi Day.
Unbranded – Lifestyle
What better way to celebrate one of math’s most well-known symbols than with an actual pie?
Saturday, March 14th (3.14, right?) Pi Day Restaurants across the country are celebrating Pi Day with sales and promotions that will make saving money as easy as saving Pi.
According to NASA, pi is an irrational number, meaning it lasts forever, and has been calculated to over 1 trillion digits. Some of you may know it as 3.14 (hence the date of National Pi Day), or its symbol, π. It is used in equations and math problems to find measurements about circles, spheres, and cylinders.
Fortunately, some of the best foods come in pie form, such as pizza pie, apple pie, chicken pot pie, and cherry pie. That’s why restaurant deals can get very weird.
Here are some great deals to look forward to on Pi Day.
