Pi was first calculated by Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC), one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world. National Pi Day has become a day to celebrate numbers and math. Although this day is during a much needed Spring Break, math lovers everywhere celebrated the day by eating all kinds of pies!

To make a difference during Stevenson’s Weekend of Women, the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Student Chapter held a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon. Fewer than 20 percent of the 1.5 million biographies on English Wikipedia are about women. So, the group researched and improved the pages for female mathematicians. Good work, good conversation, and good snacks made for a good time by all!
