Pi Day, celebrated on March 14th, is a special day for math enthusiasts worldwide. It honors the mathematical constant Pi, which is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, starting with 3.14. The day was first celebrated in 1988 at the San Francisco Exploratorium, thanks to physicist Larry Shaw. In 2009, the US Congress officially recognized Pi Day. Celebrations include eating pie, memorizing Pi's digits, and educational activities. A notable moment in Pi Day history occurred in 2015, when the date and time matched the first 10 digits of Pi. The day is marked by various activities and special recipes, especially in pizzerias and bakeries.
