Pi-day, traditionally celebrated on March 14th (3.14) is a day to honor the irrational number that is popularly rounded off to 3.14159, as well as all things mathematical. To those who are not familiar with Pi, the word is more readily associated with pie, the delicious fruit-filled pastry. We’re excited to honor both Pi and pie on Wednesday, being equally enthusiastic about both!
