Happy Pi Day, 2012 Posted: 14 Mar 2012 07:33 AM PDT Yes, folks, the time has come to celebrate our favorite mathematical constant, a number that is both transcendental and irrational, the number that you can calculate by using only Fibonacci numbers (another mathematical constant!). Today is Pi Day! If you are a math geek, you have probably passed out right now from the sheer joy of the day. If you aren’t, you might be wondering how close you are to becoming a math geek. It really can sneak up on you, as I have learned over the years. One day, you barely think about math at all; the next day, you calculate the amount of change you should get back for your Big Gulp and bag of chips and feel a rush of glee when you get the answer before the cashier. Even better, you find yourself playing with sports statistics for fun! Trust me, this can happen slowly over a number of years. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself drawing rectangles on a piece of paper to see if your eye is good enough to replicate the golden ratio or taking this Pi Day math challenge on your lunch break. It can happen. Today is also the blog anniversary of my friend Obi’s Sister, so when you take a break from your mathematical amusements, go on over and wish her a great day!
