That’s Pi. I know this much by heart and... it’s not enough. I wanna know 100 digits. Two hundred. Thousands!
And there’s a simple way to do it.
π(ece)-a-day
I’m starting a movement here. Learn π one piece a day. What is a piece you say? Whatever suits you. 1 digit, 4, 10, 314? Your call.
Two rules:
- Learn at least one new digit of π every day.
- Every day learn at least one new digit of π.
Piece by piece, day by day. With a little work, you can impress your math geek friends and scare away any liberal-arts majors!
Let’s get it started!
