It's 3/14 so happy pi day.

Pi is the mathematical constant of the ratio between the diameter and the circumference of a circle, approximately equal to 3.14159 though it is an irrational number with a non-repeating decimal which never ends.



But, more deliciously, pi day sometimes means there is pie, "a baked food, with a baked shell usually made of pastry dough that covers or completely contains a filling of fruit, meat, fish, vegetables, cheeses, creams, chocolate, custards, nuts, or other sweet or savoury ingredients."



In this thread we discuss either pi or pie, your choice.

(p.s. I could have posted this at 1:59:26 or pi second, but I decided to spare you all)

Of course, mathematical 'or' statement, either one or both.

Thank you, π, for helping to relate the Coulomb force constant to the vacuum permittivity constant. E&M would be impossible without you.

Did somebody say "pie"?!

Did any of your math teachers ever tell you *this* gem?

"A boy comes back to his family of bumpkins after attending school and they ask
"What did you learn in school today?" the boy replies
"Pi are square." the family collectively shake their heads and after muttered comments on the ineffectiveness of the public school system sadly tell him "No, pie are round, cornbread are square." "

Hah! Now your head hurts as much as mine did at the mention of pi! (Though for different/the opposite reason(s) obviously)
Yeah, my last math Prof. told that joke at least three times a semester
(took him... more than once ;P ).

Thank you pie for being so scrumptiously tasty!
