Happy American Pi Day!
[AFP] The US population reached a number dear to mathematicians on Tuesday: 314,159,265 or pi times 100 million."So go out and celebrate this American pi," quipped the US Census Bureau's chief demographer, Howard Hogan, in a statement marking the milestone. "This is a once in many generations event," Hogan added in the release that reminded readers that "pi is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter." The landmark was reached shortly after 1829 GMT. Posted by: trailing wife 2012-08-15 |
