Julius Caesar: fooled by success, did NOT beware the Pi's of March. |
Yesterday was Pi Day; and yesterday, I was thinking that, if certain people had had their way, today would be Pi Day. I seem to recall that a few years ago, there were some parties who thought pi as presently constituted is toooooooo haaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrd, and should be rounded up to 3.15. Fortunately, the iron-clad laws of math -- a subject I have always hated -- do not move with the swirls and eddies of Political Correctness.
