Happy Pi Day!
 
1 Attachment(s)
As my nerd holidays go, this is a biggie. I can (and did) skip Mario day (Mar10), and the next big one is Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you), for which I have a quilting themed shirt.

But here's my shirt for today. I am easily amused :)

The math is i for imaginary number, I'd say that integer also works. The way our math works is you can't really have a square root of a negative number, but you can imagine it!
2 cubed is 8,
Σ is sum,
π is pi!.

For ease of reading it says (more or less) I ate some pie, and it was delicious!

I ate some pie. Very clever! Enjoy the day!

Thanks for the translation. In school, I loved math--until we got to Trigonometry which never made any sense to me at all!! Thank goodness it is not a necessary function of quilting.

Pie....hmmm....think I'm going to make a little dessert. Happy Pi Day!

I do use trig to get the (approximate) angles for Doreen Speckmann's Peaky and Spike unit.

It's much easier to just draw it on graph paper, but trig does explain why 30-60-90 and 60-60-60 triangles do not make a square unit.
