On March 14, math nerds and pie lovers will unite on Pi Day. The day celebrates the significant mathematical number Pi, or “π,” equaling approximately 3.14.
Congress appointed the date that shares the first three digits as "Pi Day" in a resolution in 2009. They aimed to "encourage schools and educators to observe the day with appropriate activities that teach students about Pi and engage them about the study of mathematics.
The day falls on a Saturday this year.
This makes for one equation that’s easy to solve — 3/14 plus pie equals the perfect day for eating and shopping deals.
