Pi Day

Pi Day is an unofficial holiday commemorating the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (or 3/14 in month/day date format), since 3, 1 and 4 are the three most significant digits of π in the decimal form. In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day.

Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22 (or 22/7 in day/month date format), since the fraction 22⁄7 is a common approximation of π.

Famous quotes containing the word day:

    “To lift, to fetch, to drive, to shed, to pen,
    Are acts I recognize, with all they mean
    Of shepherding the unruly, for a kind of
    Controlled woolgathering is my work too.”
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
