We are there for you, dear friends! Stay tuned!

Today, the whole world celebrates Pi Day which highlights one of the most famous mathematical constants. By the way, the date was not chosen by chance!

Pi Day was founded by an American physicist and employee of the Science Museum in San Francisco Larry Shaw. He noticed that in the American date format, the day of March 14 – 3/14 – coincides with the first digits of Pi. This sequence can be continued at 1:59:26 on the clock as the date and time together represent the first 8 digits of Pi.

What is interesting, the date coincides with the birthday of physicist Albert Einstein. To celebrate two significant events, various mathematical events are traditionally held. People usually bake and eat big round pies as part of the celebrations due to the words "Pi" and "pie" sounding similarly in English.
