Math Enthusiasts Gather to Commemorate Pi's Significance in Mathematics
hey there! math can be amazing, even if you're not super talented at it. you know, it's like a puzzle, right? geometery was my game-changer, and I bet it could be for you too. my high school geometery teacher made it interesting, giving us puzzles and showing us cool stuff. he taught us to think, not just to find answers.
check out pi day on Pi Day and have some fun. pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. and it's way more than just numbers and letters. there are tons of ways to explore it, like playing games and making connections.
need some ideas? here are some rad books and resources to help you dive in:
#### Humble Pi - Humble Pi by Parker, Matt (Mathematician) - Around the World in Eighty Games by Du Sautoy, Marcus - Math With Bad Drawings by Orlin, Ben - Math Games With Bad Drawings by Orlin, Ben
#### Weird Math - Weird Math by Darling, David J. - Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension by Parker, Matt (Mathematician) - Foolproof, and Other Mathematical Meditations by Hayes, Brian
pi's got major finding-things-that-fit vibes. Euler's Identity is like a beautiful equation that brings together some of the most important numbers in all of math. Euler is pronounced "oiler", like a member of the football team.
pi's also about taking things apart and putting them back together. so maybe try to solve some tough math problems!
#### The Most Difficult Math Tests - Games for Your Mind by Moore, Gareth
some awesome women mathematicians deserve some love during women's history month. here are a few you should check out:
#### Hypatia - Watts, Edward J.
#### Ada Lovelace - Lew, Kristi - Dreaming in Code by McCully, Emily Arnold
there's also raspberry pi, which makes learning to code super fun. you can make robots and cars, and even fighting robots (!!!)
#### Raspberry Pi Geek - Raspberry Pi Coding & Projects The Complete Manual
pi day is also celebrated with scrumptious pies!
#### How to Bake [pi] - Cheng, Eugenia - Vegan Chocoholic by Ko, Lauren
there's even tau day, another greek letter that some people say is more suitable for calculations than pi! tau day is celebrated on june 28th. check it out here.
happy pi day! math is awesome. go forth and explore. 🤓🤓🤓
