Pi Day

Hello Jammers! Happy Pi Day! For those who don't know what pi is it's 3.1415926535897932384626433 something something. Pi is the name given to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter. So anyway, I've devoted this whole post to the celebration of pi. Yes, no Animal Jam. All pi. Here's some pi artwork and then all tell you the story of how pi began

Look at all the pi!

Anyway, pi was invented long ago by the Greek mathematician Achimedes. Now, Achimedes was one of the greatest mathematician of all time. He still is. In fact, he's considered one of the 3 greatest mathematicians, along with Isaac Newton and Gauss. Anyway, back then, everybody thought circumference of a circle to the diameter was 3, period. Plain, old 3. Well, they used that formula to build buildings. The buildings always turned out crooked. Anyway, some construction workers wanted a straight building so they called Archimedes. So Archimedes did this.

He went all the way to a 96 sided polygon.
Now, I don't know how he did that but, well he's Archimedes.
Finally, he said, pi isn't 3, it's 3.1415926535897932384626433. And so the construction workers used that and guess what they got? A straight building! So yeah. That's the story of pi. Now lets celebrate Pi Day!

Happy Pi Day!
