The Department’s annual Approximation of Pi Day Celebration (3/14 is during Spring Break) was a big hit! Math students and faculty enjoyed pizza pies, dessert pies, and other treats. Students presented interesting facts about pi and the partygoers voted on which was the most interesting. The winning fact was Rebecca Gruver’s fact about a pi language in which works are written using words of lengths 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9,… successively (in the order they appear in pi).
