No, not the Apple-type...
A little public service announcement:
This Saturday is March 14th, which is written 3/14 here in the US.
So it's Pi-day (actually, it's 3/14/15 which is even closer to Pi.)
For those who prefer the European (or US military) method of writing Day then Month, you can also consider July 22 (22/7 in the day/month date format) as Pi-day.
My old physics pal, John, likes neither of these and says a much better value, although also just an approximation, is 355/113. It's easy to remember too, if written with the standard division symbol because it appears as 113355.
We live near Princeton which always has a huge Pi-day event on March 14 because it's also Einstein's birthday. Well worth attending. If you go, don't forget to take a picture of yourself in front of 112 Mercer Street (like about 1000 other people).
We won't be able to make it this year because we'll be driving our ~Curved Dash Olds~ replica-buggy in the Morristown St. Patrick's Day parade on Saturday......also a good time!
