Yes, the time is upon us. Everyone knows pi day is March 14th, but any true nerd realizes pi is not 3.14, but rather an irrational constant which continues infinitely in decimal expansion. Starting at 9:26:53 (.589... sec) AM, the longest extended Pi Day of our lives will come into action. The date, at the AM and PM hours, will be " 3/14/15 at 9:26:53.589. Days like this only come once in a lifetime!
It is understood 1592 was a better year. This was probably the greatest pi day in history. Every 100 years (1915, 2015, 2115 etc) come the next closest pi days. It is also understood there are other minor pi days (be creative). Yes, 22/7 is pi approximation day -- But it's not that accurate! I wrote this just for all you people who like to find missing details written in nerd events. I'm sure you'll still find more ;)
If you're a nerd, you will invite ANY other nerd you know :D
Invite all your friends and let's make this the number one nerd event on facebook ;)
Pi =
4*Sum[(-1)^i/ (2*i+1) ,{i,0, infinity}]
= 4*( 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9-...)
This formula can be derived using the Taylor series for arctan via integration, namely arctan[x] = integral[1/(1+t^2),{t,0,x}]
and writing 1/(1+t^2) as a geometric sum with generator -t^2
We've finally got the new sizes for the 3/14/15 T-shirts that you've been asking for.
Thanks for your patience!
Sorry but it's too late to order now!! Again... it is too late to order. Any remaining shirts and bands were shipped to Jimmy for prizes.
So... let's enjoy the DAY!
One of Jimmy's best friends
Jarrod Newton -- This facebook event is dedicated to you -
Jarrod Newton, born on Pi Day but left this world before his 25th birthday in 2011 after a battle with brain cancer. Jarrod was here when this facebook event began and was one of Jimmy's best friends.
Math aficiondos... These little wristbands that you have purchased will remain fun conversation starters, and great teaching tools for years to come... You can start it with ...I remember THE DAY...
Math fans/students/teachers/programmers/engineers,
YOU were the first in your classroom/office/dorm to wear one! :D
Math
is COOL
Update March 2015 - What began in 2010 as a crazy face book event of a high school senior with only 15 people has now reached over a million people (with attending and maybes ;) Jim's original text above has been mentioned (CNN) & used everywhere.
He has now graduated college (last May) with two degrees, one in Computer Science, one in Mathematical Economics. He wanted to quit everyday the last two years as he co-founded a new start up business -Vuevent- his Jr year in college and wanted to quit and run with it. They moved their staff from Boulder Co. to Austin Tx this January 2015.
JIMMY is hoping to HOST a planet-wide Pi Day Celebration. Connect with him on the Facebook event.
Did you know the longest extended Pi Day of Our Lives will be coming up SOON on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53.589
a.m and p.m hours ... (keep counting)
Share the fun, GIVE THEM AWAY.
Thank you for all your orders.... You can no longer order here as of March 1. Jimmy now has the bands and shirts for the Pi Day Of Our Lives. Please check out the facebook event for details on how to join the fun!
Ok Jimmy has now (3/12/14) written a nice letter and a way to keep the bands I sent to him rolling out to you! Here's the link to his letter so you can catch up and connect with him!
