Meet in Pittencrieff Park at 10.15 to celebrate Pi, the irrational number with no known re-occuring features.
The symbol for Pi has been in use for over 250 years. The symbol was introduced by William Jones, a Welsh mathematician, in 1706.
The symbol was made popular by the mathematician Leonhard Euler. Since the exact value of Pi can never be calculated, we can never find the accurate area or circumference of a circle.
March 14 or 3/14 is celebrated as pi day because 3.14 are the first digits of pi.
Math nerds around the world love celebrating this infinitely long, never-ending number.
Pi is actually a part of Egyptian mythology. People in Egypt believed that the pyramids of Giza were built on the principles of pi. The vertical height of the pyramids have the same relationship with the perimeter of their base as the relationship between a circle’s radius and its circumference. The pyramids are phenomenal structures and are one of the seven wonders of the world.
If its raining we will be able to go to the Peacock Rooms Cafe .
