How I celebrated PI day

in #travel5 years ago

Hello,

today was PI-day. PI as in one of the most important numbers, the 3.14...

I love geometry and Pi is a geometric crucial number. Without his existence the world would look plain straight, without any curves and rounds.

I had a busy day and have invited a customer for a drink in town. I like to take the people out of the meeting rooms and office buildings. Without the concrete pressure the plain discussion turns into a friendly one. Like this relationships are being build.

The customer I've invited is a mathematician by profession, so it was the perfect time to speak about Pi and the day. He was surprised I knew about it, but after telling him some of my past work where I worked in research and where I've submitted some patents the discussion turned into something more scientific.

I like deeper discussion behind the shallowness of the usual day.

How did you celebrate PI-day?

I was reading about fractals all day :)) I had a smoothie with celery, apple and lime to celebrate the roundness of life 🍀

Ich habe (als frühere Physikerin) tatsächlich andere Lieblingszahlen (gehabt).
Die Angabe, daß Du schon Patente angemeldet hast, macht mich etwas baff.

I never heard abou PI-day before, really interesting idea.
Mathematics is present in your lives in everything.

I going celebrate PI-day asking you a interesting thing. Did you know?

Pi also crops up in probability. The function f(x)=e-x², where e=2.71828… is Euler’s number, describes the most common probability distribution seen in the real world, governing everything from SAT scores to locations of darts thrown at a target. The area under this curve is exactly the square root of π.
