Happy Pi Day

Happy Pi Day! 

Aside from being the sixteenth letter of the Greek alphabet – 𝚷 – it is also a unique number.

If you take the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, no matter how big or small a circle is, this number is the same. That is, dividing any circumference of a circle by its diameter, you’ll still get the same result: pi.

Before we share the number, we need to explain that it’s an irrational number. Its decimals are infinite. They go on forever, though they do not repeat.

Here are the first 100 digits of pi: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679

The following students made the 100 club: Veronica Mazzetti, Vincent Nube and Kiri Ryan. 

Kiri sang the first 100 digits in a song, with Vincent reciting the first 152 and Veronica reciting an outstanding 270 digits! Well done to all the students that participated. Happy Pi Day!
