The number π is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, and is approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter "π" since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes written as pi. π is an irrational number, which means that it cannot be expressed exactly as a ratio of two integers (such as 22/7 or other fractions that are commonly used to approximate π); consequently, its decimal representation never ends and never settles into a permanent repeating pattern. The digits appear to be randomly distributed, although no proof of this has yet been discovered. π is a transcendental number – a number that is not the root of any nonzero polynomial having rational coefficients. The transcendence of π implies that it is impossible to solve the ancient challenge of squaring the circle with a compass and straight-edge.
So to celebrate pi (as all good nerds should), let's get together on Pi Day, March 14 (3-14) for some lunch. I am not sure if the restaurant serves pie, but I do know they have some great food!
This event will take place on Thursday, March 14 at 12:00pm (noon) at the Great Wall Buffett. The event should only last an hour, but you are welcome to stay as long as you like. If you plan to attend, please post a Will Attend log to the page with the count in your party so I can give the restaurant as accurate a count as possible.
