We always had a neighbor who celebrated Pi Day. On March 14, they would hold an annual celebration at their house and invite over plenty of friends and family and neighbors to also bring in sweet and savory pies of all kind—from shepherd’s pie to apple pie—to commemorate the day. It was fun. I also knew, even at an early age, that it was a bit nerdy.
Pi Day, for those who don’t know, is celebrated in honor of Pi—typically used as the Greek letter of the same sound, π—and used in all manner of mathematical and scientific applications for its presence as a constant.
