Now if only the pie was purple this would be the perfect edible advertisement for the MatrixMaxx Association Management System.

What better way to celebrate math and Pi Day than by having everyone bring in pies from home; an annual favorite of both students and staff!

Pi Day (3.14) - I work for an engineering firm, and for Pi Day, if we brought in a circular food item, our name was entered in a drawing for a gift card! How could I not make decorated Pi cookies? Sadly, I did not win the gift card. And even worse, I had scheduled a blood test after work that required 12 hours of fasting - what terrible timing! All of those yummy circular treats and I couldn't sample any of them. :(

Happy pi day, everyone!
To try to understand the true significance of this day, I first needed to understand the meaning of the thing it is celebrating. So, I went to one of my more scholarly friends (Blackberry) and inquired into the nature of the holiday's namesake. The first thing I asked was, naturally, "what does this pie taste like?"*
When he heard that, he declared me an embarrassingly unlearned pup and set about giving me a passionate mathematical lesson. Within minutes every scrap of paper within paw's reach was covered in numbers and my mind was swimming with all the things Blackberry was trying to squeeze into it.
After a while, (I'm not sure if it's because he noticed the aghast expression on my face, or if it was because he had run out of slips of paper... though I think it was the latter) he slowed to a stop. Looking over the various notes scattered around us, he admitted that he hadn't exactly taken the most direct route in my tutoring, but he thought this gave a more general, fool-proof, informative definition.
And here I was thinking it was a day dedicated to dessert!

*I think part of me was willing it to be chocolate pie (my favorite!) but I didn't want to get my hopes up.
