Happy Pi Day

Today 3/14 is Pi day, in honor of the wonderful number pi (3.14159265...). For those of you who are mathaphobes, Pi is just a ratio of the Circumference of a circle to the Diameter (the distance around a circle divided by the distance across). Euler popularized the number, and it comes from the greek work for perimeter. I won't bore you with too many details, but I will give you some fun Pi sites to look at and enjoy. Happy Pi Day!!!
