Happy day pi
If you like numbers, shapes and equations, today is a good day to celebrate. It is March 14 – or, otherwise, 3.14, the initial digits of the mathematical constant pi – which means it is the International Mathematics Day.
One mathematician we talked to, said he celebrated by publishing a tour of “Matemalchemia”, a travel art installation that was referred to as “mathematical fever”. It is equipped with an octopus that describes the movement of the waves, an arch that emphasizes the twins and roads in all directions that are heading for infinity. Look at it.
I wish to calculate the weekend.
Thanks for reading. I will return on Monday. – Matthew
