Have you heard of Pi Day?You may think it is all about having pies.That's only partly right.Pi Day is actually about maths!Every year on March 14th, maths lovers and scientists celebrate Pi Day to honor the special number pi.
__▲__ It was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw, who worked at the Exploratorium, a science museum.He started the Pi Day celebration.During the first event, both workers in the Exploratorium and the public walked around one of the circular(圆形的) spaces in the museum while eating fruit pies.Later, the celebration became a yearly tradition at the museum and more visitors joined in.In 2019, the UNESCO set the day, March 14th, as the International Day of Mathematics.
There are many kinds of celebrations of Pi Day.Some people choose to remember as many digits(数字) of pi as they can, while some take part in a pi party, enjoying delicious pies and dancing to music.Besides, people use a writing style called Pilish to celebrate Pi Day.In a Pilish sentence, the number of letters in each word matches the digits of pi.The first word has three letters, the second has one letter, the third has four letters, and so on.An engineer, Michael Keith, even wrote a book called Not A Wake by using Pilish.
