Do students learn in schools today about pi. Yesterday was "celebrated" as Pi Day (3.14 (March 14) - the pie shoppes love it). Pi. Do you know what that is?
"Succinctly, pi—which is written as the Greek letter for p, or π—is the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle. Regardless of the circle's size, this ratio will always equal pi. In decimal form, the value of pi is approximately 3.14." Source: www.scientificamerican.com
"To only 18 decimal places, pi is 3.141592653589793238" (Thanks again to Scientific American) Memorize that now. The test is Saturday.
Now, how about the Ides of March? Does anyone learn about that in school these days? Well, that's today, March 15.
Can't quite remember what it is or what it means? Use your friend, Google.
