Pi day jokes – Happy Pi day and Albert Einstein Birthday

Filed under: Education — Tags: — admin @ 6:08 pm

World is celebrating today Pi day and also this day coincides with Great Albert Einstein Birthday. Pi day is celebrated because it resembles Pi value 3.14.

As from Wikipedia – Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are two holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant Ï€ (pi) (in the mm/dd date notation: 3/14); since 3, 1 and 4 are the first three decimal digits of Ï€.


Albert Einstein Birthday is also celebrated today on March 14. This great Nobel Prize winner scientist born on March 14 1879 and is famous for his theory of Relativity e=mc^2.

Similar to Pi day, another Pi approximation day is celebrated on July 22. Its because of the Ancient mathematician Archimedes’ first rough approximation of Ï€ as being 22/7. However, this may be considered misleading, as all cited dates are “approximation days” (since Ï€ is an irrational number) and 22/7 is actually a closer approximation of Ï€ than 3.14 is. Typically, March 14 is more popular for countries using the month/day format and the 22nd of July is more popular for countries using the day/month format.


Here are some of the Pi day jokes –

Q: What do you get when you cut a jack o’lantern by its diameter?
A: Pumpkin Pi!1

Q: What do you get when you take green cheese and divide its circumference by its diameter?
A: Moon Pi.

Q:What do you get when you take the sun and divide its circumference by its diameter?
A: Pi in the sky.

Mathematician: Pi r squared”
Baker: No! Pies are round, cakes are square

these are some of the Jokes taken from Mahalo.
