No comments thus far. This further backs up my theory that, other than Hannah Banana, nobody actually cares about pi day.

Our school does.  We had a comp during lunch where the person that recited the most digits in pi got to throw a pie at each of his teachers.  He missed.  All of them.  And one of them hit a girl.  Pitiful.

Apparently people have been saying: "Don't throw a pie at *insert specific teacher's name here*, because she'll just eat it. >_>

How many digits did the person reach?

I have no idea.  I got bored and started daydreaming after the 30 second mark.

Whoa. There's two guys in my class that spend their time counting Pi digits, trying to learn a new one every day, and so far succeeding. I know 3.1415926, which is good enough for me.

I borrowed a book which had a million Pi Digits and damn, it was thick.

one of my classmates brought an apple pie to school and we ate it during English class. that was...nice, since i wasn't there. i only saw him in the morning, and then i went to the university lol XD

the person who knows the most digits of Pi is some chinese guy who knows more than 40000 digits.

I know 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105 of by heart (50 digits), but I used to know 110 digits.... man I wish I had a life....

I know 3.14159265358979323846264  and memorizing more day by day

In primary school we just learned it as 3 1/7 to make calculations easier for circles...

Remember that it was Pi day only in the US. The rest of the world uses the dd/mm/yyyy format.

we're always told to use it as 3.14. but now, we just use the sign of pi, so for example, a final answer could be something like cis(2pi/13).

Wait, did you just use Pi to calculate...Pi?

no, lol. what i mean is, that if your answer has Pi in it, we don't write it as a specific value, we write, 2pi, not 6.2831..

exp(iPi)+1=0, and not exp(3.1415*i)+1=0.

Ah. Well, that's standard procedure by now for me and everyone in my class, although it became only quite recently.

It is standard in Physics to work with symbols for as long as possible. And Pi is a symbol. So I always leave it as Pi until I finally have to calculate the answer, by which time I simply use the Pi button on my calculator.

yup =]

say jell, did you study thermodynamics and statistical mechanics? i may need some help somewhere hehe..

I am doing Thermo now, but I won't get statistic mechanics till the second or third year. I assume this is about enthropy?
S=int(Q/T*dT)

nope; in israel it's together in one course. Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics; we're dealing with defusion(sp?) of stuff in liquids - brown motion, random particls motion, and stuff. we just started, but i missed 4 lectures :S:S so i officially suck inthis course, already.

Diffusion, heat transport, it is all entropy.
Half of thermo is entropy and pretty much all of statistical mechanics is entropy.

Also, I have already had Brown motion and diffusion in Biophysics. Not that I can help you, as it is hard to focus on anything biology related.
