Pi Day is celebrated around the world on the fourteenth day of the third month (3/14). The date representation of 3.14 is the most basic ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Founded by physicist Larry Shaw in 1988, Pi Day was first celebrated at San Francisco’s Exploratorium, a museum of science and technology. Shaw celebrated the first Pi Day by handing out fruit pie and tea at 1:59pm, the digits following 3.14.
Pi Day is now an international annual opportunity for enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about mathematics, to share research, and for students to learn more about Pi.
In celebration of Pi Day, we have collected the most downloaded papers of 2022 from Forum of Mathematics, Pi (FMP).
