Let"s gather for another math related day. Square Root Day. It will not be too difficult. Please bring a root vegetable cut in squares. I will provide dip and chips to go with them. A little math, a little smile, a little fun---that's Square Root Day!

Ron Gordon, a Redwood City, California high school teacher, created the first Square Root Day for September 9, 1981 (9/9/81). Gordon remains the holiday's publicist, sending news releases to world media outlets annually.

Also On Monday, April 4, 2016, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is closed, for the Tomb Sweeping day holiday.
This is the day to clean up cemeteries in China.
