Celebrate Pi Day!


Ah, Pi Day – no, not PIE day, although we’d love that, too – but Pi Day, a day in which math lovers everywhere celebrate the wonder that is pi, the mathematical constant typically known as 3.14. Hence, why we celebrate it on March 14th (3/14). Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and it never changes, which is why it’s called a constant. It’s thought that the digits of pi go on forever, since the digits have been calculated to over one trillion digits past the decimal point, but pi is commonly just rounded to 3.14.

We’ve had previous blog posts about Pi Day here and here, but there are always more ways to celebrate our favorite number!

Make it a real Pi(e)-filled day. Why not buy (or make!) a variety of different kinds of pie and share with your friends or colleagues while you discuss the wonders of mathematics and pi? If you want to get creative, add in some pizza….because it’s a pizza PI(E). There you go – you’re all set for your meals for the day!

Watch math-related movies. Check out movies like Proof, A Beautiful Mind, Hidden Figures, The Theory of Everything, and The Man Who Knew Infinity.

Do some reading about pi. Check out this BBC article about pi, and then search google for interesting articles and blogs.

Send a Pi Day greeting. Here are some e-cards you can send to those who appreciate pi as much as you.

See how many digits you can memorize. While there are documented trillions of digits after the decimal point, test your memory to see how many you can remember! Here’s a song to help you remember the first 100 digits.

I cannot sing the praises of Thesis Editor highly enough.

I am a third year PhD student and I had been struggling for months with my quantitative analysis (both running and interpreting my tests). Any support I had sought out from my institution ended up leaving me more confused than when I arrived. I came across Thesis Editor whilst I was searching online for some stats help, and I am so thankful that I did.

If like I was, you are struggling with an aspect of your PhD, perhaps do not seem to be able to get the help you need from your institution or outside, you will not regret using Thesis Editor.

Dawn, the Director, was absolutely brilliant from beginning to end. I was contacted promptly after my initial enquiry, and there was a very quick turnaround to which a quote was given after assessing my work. I was then assigned a statistitian, Dr Musicha, and received extremely comprehensive feedback within one week. This was then followed by a 1-hour consultation. My consultation with Dr Musicha was nothing less than phenomenal. Honestly I cannot even put into words how much I gained in the hour together. He not only helped me built my knowledge but practically had me share my screen and walked me through my challenges on SPSS so I had a thorough understanding - something that has not been done with my university throughout my PhD. I was taught more in that hour about my quant stats than I have by anyone else. He was also just so kind, and encouraging and really boosted my confidence.

Using Thesis Editor has been an invaluable investment, and I can only thank Dawn and Dr Musicha so dearly.
