Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 around the world as that day represents Pi's first three numbers. It's a yearly celebration for math lovers to see who can recite the most digits of its infinite decimals, talk about its history and have an excuse to eat many, many pies!
First, the math: Pi is the Greek letter "π." It is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant, as it is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. It has been calculated to more than 50 trillion digits beyond its decimal point and will continue to repeat, as it is an irrational and transcendent number.
