Pi Day is finally here. The least imaginative celebrate by cooking pies, the academic indulge in a worldwide celebration of mathematics, and the stubborn insist that Pi Day doesn’t make sense because the equation is an infinite number and not 3.14.

It’s a real holiday, not just a math joke.
As for us?

You can even use it to teach Amazon Alexa to do crazy things. Read more…
