My math teacher.
I just thought this was a little funny.
At my school we usually have pie day on March 14th (3.14). But that falls on a weekend this year, so our math department decided on a math awareness week. They had students design t-shirts for prizes. She was showing us the designs in class and it was funny because one of them said "I <3 math." and she said what does this mean. And then one said "math ftw" and she said is this a bad phrase or what does it mean. It was funny to see how each generation is so different. I also think one of the best designs was a calculator with a chain around it. It was supposed to be t.i. like the wrapper because ti is texas instruments. |

While we're at it, we should select a random day of each year to be "+C" day. :D |
Re: My math teacher.
At my school, we kind of do the same thing, only in one of our science classes, the teacher LOVES Mol Day. On October 23 (10/23) from 6:04 in the morning to 6:04 at night, it's Mol Day. Get it? 6.04e^-23? haha People have actually made cards for our teacher to celebrate Mol day. She laughs so hard that day, which can actually be rare sometimes. :)

Re: My math teacher.
IKE's yes I am a nerd alert:
So 3 books worth looking into are: 1. The History of PI (number not pastry). It is a brief history of PI that is mostly Anglo centric, but does touch on Middleeastern and Eastern PI history. I will warn you it is a bit hard on religion. Mostly because the church forced the accuracy of PI to go from 22/7 to 3 for about 500 years based off of something said in the bible. 2. It must be beautiful. A series of essays on history changing equations. Some notables, E=MC^2, chaos theory, string theory, and the equation that got funding for the search for E.T. Like any compliation of essays, some are better than others. 3. And for last Q.E.D. A series of proofs of different mathematical ideas and principles. |

All I have to say is:
3.14159265358979 It was a password used by a former employer to access special menus in a software program. It's amazing that after being gone for 6 years I still remember it. I needed to use the urban dictionary to find out what I<3 and ftw meant. I'm getting old. |

I'm not too far out of college and my team had to bring me up to speed on some DragonBall-Z "over 9000" quote....
Anyway, to solve your weekend Pi-day problem, you could hold it on Wednesday March 4th. The 3 is still the month, but the .14 turns into the percentage of the month. Since march has 31 days, 31*0.14 gives you the 4th. good luck! |
Re: My math teacher.
I guess celebrating pi day is clearly only a US tradition, since there is no 14th month for the Euro date code standard of DD/MM/YYYY.
HA!! USA FTW! |
Re: My math teacher.
My pre-calc teacher celebrates Pi Day on 3/14 every year, but since the 14 was a Saturday, we celebrated it on the 13. One person brought pie in and others brought in cookies. somebody even brought in lots of cupcakes and decorated them in such a way that when they were put on the tray, they made the Pi symbol (chocolate iced were pi symbol, vanilla iced were around it to show it clearly)
