Today is pi day 3.14159265

[Chill Wills]

March 14th = pi 3.14

For all the nerds like me, I guess that this kinda stuff makes us smile.

Today is pi day. Two years ago it was March 14, 15 and we could extend the date and time into pi to seven or eight places.

I had chicken pot pie, it's pie so I guess I'm good to go!

[Hardcast416taylor]

Saw a blueberry pie in a local bakery that had a Greek pi symbol in the top pie crust.Robert

A gift from the late DanT two years ago.

Apparently I would not mae the best nerd, I always just thought pie are round and cornbread is square.

Heavy on the stuff. lol

[Multigunner]

The ancient Egyptians used 3 as Pi when measuring farmer's fields for tax purposes, no doubt the farmers were pleased with that.

[birch]

...I know it has something to do with calculating the area of....not a square...oh yah...the area of a circle. How does one go about calculating the area of a series of circles?

[Chill Wills]

I guess that I am not surprised this turned from the circumference of a circle to the volume of two half prolate spheroids.

[birch]

Archimedes would be proud.

[popper]

PI day never ends.

[runfiverun]

you figure it for each circle.
but use X D then start at Pi R squared again and do X D again.
this gives you a volumetric measurement for each section.
if one circle is inside the other you have to subtract the difference.
or you have to do the math for a cone volume if they are continuously stacked to a point.

[birch]

What if the cones are continuously stacked but instead of a point, there is a slope? Should I be concerned with the slope intercept? I could quote some Shakespeare in response to the question, but I would hate to incorporate Literature into a day specifically dedicated to the science of mathematical expression.
