Happy Pi Day!
Yes, there is a day dedicated to celebrating the wonderful number pi. You all remember pi from math class? And maybe from rotational motion if you took physics? It has been known for a long time and we just keep getting to know it better. It never repeats and as far as we know it goes on forever. It has been calculated to over a trillion decimal places. That is more than you could even hope to count. It is used by scientists, mathematicians, teachers and even the ever reluctant students to calculate more things than you could even imagine. There is at least one thing you use in your daily life that owes it's existence, or at least it's current better-than-it-used-to-be condition to pi.
So I leave you with pi...to 50 decimal places
