It's Pi Day! 🥧

If you're looking to celebrate the magic of mathematics, check out the @mathematics Community Feed.

A Pi symbol can be seen surrounded by confetti. The copy reads: Happy Pi Day 14 March, 2025. The design is by Shaker Studio's with Newsmast Foundation branding alterations.

The history of pi, says the author, though a small part of the history of mathematics, is nevertheless a mirror of the history of man. Petr Beckmann holds up this mirror, giving the background of the times when pi made progress — and also when it did not, because science was being stifled by militarism or religious fanaticism.
Geometry as a Hermeneutic Science In Pi (π) in Nature, Art, and Culture Marcel Danesi revisits the importance of π as a pattern in the structure of reality, fitting in with the Pythagorean view of Order. Pi has cropped up in formulas that describe natural and physical structures which, on the surface, seem to have nothing to do with a circle, but might harbor the archetype of circularity as a principle. Through π, this book thus revisits the implicit ancient Greek view that geometry was a 'hermeneutic science,' a discipline aiming to investigate the connectivity among numbers, shapes, and natural phenomena. It also examines its manifestations in aesthetic, symbolic and cultural structures, which point to an abiding fascination with the circle as an unconscious archetype. Hermeneutic geometry is ultimately about the exploration of the meanings of geometric-mathematical notions to science and human life.

    The Pi scam.

    I've always thought that the number is overrated. Okay, it's infinite, but wouldn't it be much weirder if it were finite? Any other damn random measurement you throw at the perimeter of a circle is going to give you an infinite result too. What's behind this marketing campaign? Freemasons? Is the number Pi a smokescreen that misleads us from the truth?

    Today is Day, and there's a full moon. Coincidence? I don't think so.

    The marketing campaign started in the 80s!! If you turn the number 8 upside down, you have infinity... and isn't 0 a circle? Coincidence? I don't think so.

    Congratulaions on becoming a PI – "At this point in your career, your only possible promotion is to management, where you will stop doing the work you love and use a skill set you don't have and we don't teach."
