Re: Pi Day 2009

Agreed, we Brits don't use American order of days and months.  But do you Yanks think we should celebrate 'e' month in Feb '71?  And if not, why not?

Re: Pi Day 2009

Yes, we can celebrate 'e' day on Jan 27[sup]th[/sup]!

Re: Pi Day 2009

Britain could have Pi day on 31/4 if it wanted.


Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Pi Day 2009

I've never really heard of any sort of formal celebration for the day of the natural logarithm, but I'd assume that it'd be on the 27th of January, or maybe the 7th of February.

Happy Pi Day!
