3/14 is Pi Day, not Pie Day
Squandering all that delicious potential, every year math nerds people rally around the irrational to honor Pi. I thought I’d join the fray this year and track down two links that let you play with the beloved Pi:
The first link is an applet that lets you putz around with this visualization of Pi that amounts to little more than colored noise.
Once you’re done zooming, scaling, or otherwise inspecting Pi, the second link lets you search through those billions of numbers for numerical strings. My birthday, for instance, shows up at position 52105667 after the decimal point.
Oh the “fun” you can have with those crazy irrational numbers.
