-- Pi day --

Happy Pi day everyone,


Since I’ve been young I’ve always been interested in math. This is because I do believe that you can find a link between any two events using mathematical strings. I never believed it was useful, but I have always been intrigued by this. (Most of the time the strings related is arbitrary, so we find their connection only after we discovered what we would use this connection for. Such as us looking for the connection between people and a cure for Polio. This was only discovered after we had found a cure.)


In Euclidean plane geometry, π is defined either as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, or as the ratio of a circle's area to the area of a square whose side is the radius.

March 14th, has been home to many infamous events. In 1492 Queen Isabella ordered over 150,000 Jewish citizens to become catholic. Also there was the liquidation of the Krakow Ghetto in 1943. Sadly we have also lost many important figureheads throughout our time such as Karl Marx the German political theorist.


Other holidays are observed throughout the world today (White Day, Rquirra), but my favorite is Pi day.


Have a delightful Pi day,
