In 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives declared March 14 (3.14) to be National Pi Day, to celebrate the importance of math, science, and education in our lives, while sparking interest in learning.
Pi is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Many believe Pi to be the most intriguing number in all of mathematics. Being an irrational number, π cannot be expressed exactly as a common fraction,so its decimal representation never ends and never settles into a permanent repeating pattern.
