Coming Up This Week: Pi Approximation Day
Here's the whole scoop from Jagran Josh:
- Pi Day is frequently observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day date format), but related celebrations have been held on alternative dates.
- Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22 (22/7 in the day/month date format), since the fraction 22⁄7 is a common approximation of π, which is accurate to two decimal places and dates from Archimedes.
- Two Pi Day, also known as Tau Day, is observed on June 28 (6/28 in the month/day format).
- Some also celebrate Pi on November 10, since it is the 314th day of the year.
Here's my take from a year ago: An Approximation? Exactly!
