National Pi Day 2023:  Why Do People Enjoy Pi Day?

Pi is infinitely amazing.  Pi is an "irrational number," which means that no one knows for sure what its exact value is.

The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is called Pi (π), and astonishingly, Pi will always be the same for all circles of any size.

Billions of digits starting with 3.14159265358979323… have been calculated by mathematicians, yet no recognizable pattern has ever appeared.

We wouldn't know what digit might appear next even if we kept going infinitely or indefinitely.

Pi resembles pie.   This celebration pretty basically combines the two most interesting things in life—pie and mathematics—if you're a nerd who likes pies.

Pi resembles pie.   Of course, it means that the natural solution is to include pie in the celebration in order to honor abstract mathematical objects that are somewhat irrational.

Pi connects math with the real world --->

Perhaps as a student in math class, you ever wondered why on earth "logs" or "proofs" were so important.

Pi is the answer, well at least, one of the things that connect math to real-world uses.

Pi's connection to circles also makes it connected to cycles, which include calculating waves, ebb and flow, ocean tides, electromagnetic waves, and many other phenomena.

Pi can also be used to calculate many phenomena that occur in the natural world, including the shapes of rivers, the sun's disc, the spiral structure of DNA, and even an eye's pupil.
