Pi Day celebrates the mathematical constant pi on March 14. The University Math Center looks at the irrational number and how you can estimate it yourself ...

The Math Center is a University resource that helps students gain skills, strategies, and attitudes necessary to gain independence and succeed in their math related academic courses. One of the most well-known methods is Archimedes Polygon Approximation. This method works by inscribing a polygon within a circle and circumscribing another outside the circle, and determining the perimeters of the polygons. Another, and far more fun way, that you can try to estimate pi is the method of Buffon’s Needle. For this method “needles” are tossed at a set of equally spaced parallel lines. In mathematics, pi is a constant that represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Leonhard Euler popularized the use of the symbol among the scientific community in 1737. Currently, about 62.8 million digits of pi have been discovered, with a group of researchers from the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons in Switzerland holding the record.

For math lovers, it's a chance to celebrate Pi, one of the most important numbers ever, representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.

The Exploratorium said it added a celebration of Einstein's life as part of its Pi Day activities after Shaw's daughter, Sara, realized the coincidence. The museum said Shaw led Pi Day parades there every year until his passing in 2017. Albert Einstein was born on this day in 1879. Although Pi is typically rounded up to 3.14, it can go on forever.

March 14 is Pi Day. It's a delicious excuse to celebrate an enduring culinary concept -- that is, the many edible varieties of pie around the world.

Layers of flaky phyllo also form the crust for Albanian burek or byrek, savory pies that can be filled with everything from ground meat to spinach and cheese. While the original recipe (spelled banoffi) calls for a pastry crust, many iterations use a biscuit or graham cracker crust instead. Adding fresh corn kernels to a sweet custard or chess pie filling is a common theme for bakers and gardeners making the most of late summer produce. Spanakopita is one of the most well-known, featuring a spinach and feta filling inside flaky phyllo dough, but there's also its cousin hortopita, made with wild greens; tiropita, a savory cheese pie; and maridopita, a fish pie. The British and their colonies seem to have perfected the art of the meat pie. In ancient Rome, early meat pies used dough merely as a vessel for preserving the meat's tenderness, not for eating with the filling.

BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) — You may have heard through the grapevine that it's Pi Day....

He’s parodied several songs including Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger," Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” and Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive.” Biddeford High School math teacher Jon Jacques always tries to make Pi Day fun through goofy antics, including musical parodies posted online. In the past, he’s shaved a Pi symbol into his hair, sculpted a Pi out of snow, had a temporary Pi tattoo on his shaved head.

Every March 14, mathematicians, scientists and math lovers around the world celebrate Pi Day, a commemoration of the mathematical sign pi.

"What Larry Shaw was able to do was to start a culture around pi," he said. "They used to be pretty small so my memories of them are just like 10 people, and then it grew bigger and bigger," she said. Sims' artwork will be on display at the museum through March 31. "He always sort of liked to combine crazy, fun ideas with science and math," she said. But pi has significance outside of mathematics. Thus, Pi Day was born.
