On March 14, geeks of the world unite for national Pi Day. March 14 being, 3.14 are the first three digits of Pi. At approximately 1:59 pm- 3.14159 being the first 6 digits of pi, the annual ritual Drop of the Giant Pi takes place at pi ground zero. What is the history of pi? Pi is an extremely old number. It goes back to the time of the Babylonians and Egyptians. Although they didn't have as good of an understanding as we do today, they had figured out that it was a little bigger number than three. I believe National Pi Day is just a day to show the significance of Pi to the world. Also, I believe there is no reason to have national Pi Day because to most of the students and citizens around America, Pi is just an ordinary number.
