3.14 Day

[Errol Groff]

Since today is March 14 I thought I would send a happy pie day greeting to all!

"pie"? I guess you're a baker and not a mathematician.

More importantly, today is Einstein's birthday.

I had your cake and ate it too!

grad students brought in a cherry pie (fullblown home made pie)
baked (yes baked) into (as in, conpleatly contained within)
a chocolate layer cake (with frosting).

... Think I am going to have to do that again sometime...

My oldest daughter is a middle school math teacher. Yesterday her students brought 44 full size pies and 37 small Mcdonalds size pies. It was all the pie you could eat in the lunchroom.

I don't know about your neck of the woods but up here "Government Work" tends to be something a guy sneaks in for himself at work. Generally closer than "3 + a bit" Of course for 'real' government work it can be 3 +/- a bit

[Dunc]

So, how about a day each for all the other mathematical constants?
Or, how about Morse Taper 2, 3,4... days?
Gosh, must be enough that it would become a day every other year

Aren't we currently in the ides of Morse??

[Paul Alciatore]

Yep, same thing. Don't want to get caught so no time for accuracy.

Well, unless you work for the government, then it has an entirely different meaning.

Yep. Some of my tapers are a bit worn after 30 years. I feel that it is time for remorse.

[Forrest Addy]

Hmm. If there was a pi day, is there a pi hour? A pi minute? A pi instant? What about leap year?

Every simple concept is like an onion: if you dig into it you find layers, the more you dig the more layers you find until you get to the core where suddenly there's nothing left.

The sophomore's philosophy is suddently tenable.
