Today's pi is round

Happy birthday, Albert Einstein! Complete coincidence.

Yes, it is that day beloved/hated by mathematicians and other number geeks, and which I celebrate because I quite like pie.




Math with Bad Drawings has several (mathematical) pi recipes.

Here is a quite lovely Buffon's Needle explanation and applet from the University of Illinois.

And of course it wouldn't be Pi Day without a rant from Vi Hart. Substance over appearance all the way.
