Happy Pi Day


How amusing to celebrate, math and baking, together for the sake of Pi Day. Fun to approach mathematics with sense of humor. Pies being thrown into the mix for the sake of pi. In order to recall the never ending digits used to express the mathematical constant, there are mnemonic poems called piems (combining the words pi and poems). The number of letters in each word represent the corresponding digit of pi.

This, a piem written by Dmitri Borgmann is a fun example. It represents the first 30 digits of pi 3.14159 265358979323846264338327.

Now, a moon, a lover refulgent in flight,
Sails the black silence's loneliest ellipse.
Computers use pi, the constant, when polite,
Or gentle data for sad tracking aid at eclipse.

And again, Happy Pi Day!
