oOHHHHH - I was being serious. It didn`t occur to me today`s date. I wasn`t sure if it was one of those weird "donut day" or "Paper shred" type of fake holidays they have. Isn`t there a calendar for all those? Like there`s something everyday? OR if it was something to do with that film, The Life of Pi.
But I do know what PI is
For those of you who are mathematically challenged, Pi (π) is the number used to determine the diameter of a circle based on its radius or diameter.
The formula is circumference=2 x radius x π OR diameter x π.
The value is non-repeating number, meaning the numbers do NOT repeat in an identifiable sequence, AND it goes on indefinitely into infinity (meaning forever)
Example is to take a calculator and divide 1 by 3. The .333333333333...... will be displayed and the (3) is a repeating number sequence that goes on forever.
The value of Pi have been calculated out to 1 million decimal places (or more) by super computers. For the sake of brevity π value is 3.14159265359
in the old days, it was "approximated" by using 22/7. Computing and determining the mathematical formula for the value of Pi is beyond me; I am not a mathematician by any means. (You can Google it like I should do!)
Why all the concern about decimal point accuracy?. The bigger the diameter, the more "accurate" that value takes in getting close to determining the circumference of a circle. This is especially true in computing arc distances for space travel trajectories or having very large `bull" gears that drive large diameter impression cylinders match up during printing for color registration, where using just a few decimal places for calculations using the value of Pi can mean missing space target by several hundred miles or having an inaccurate cylinder diameter and their large bull (drive) gears being off by a few 0.001 of an inch that can lead to mismatched colors or color ghosting during hi-speed printing.
Needless to say, March 14th (3-14) is Pi day. (More than you really wanted to know)
