Pi Day was first celebrated in 1988 by physicist Larry Shaw at the Exploratorium, a science museum in San Francisco. Since then, Pi Day has become a popular celebration among math enthusiasts and educators around the world.
Pi Day is typically celebrated by organizing pi-related activities such as reciting pi to as many decimal places as possible, baking pi-themed pies, holding math quizzes or competitions, and creating pi-related art projects. Some schools and universities also organize lectures or presentations on the history and significance of pi.
Pi Day has become a way to promote math education and appreciation for mathematics. It is a fun and unique way to celebrate the importance of mathematics in our everyday lives.
