Pi Day celebrated across social media platforms

In recent years, Pi Day has become an institution nearly as big as the number to which the day is dedicated. Each March 14, social media users take to their platforms of choice to share and showcase their love of the incredibly lengthy number that starts with 3.14.

March 14 (3.14), better known as Pi Day, is celebrated annually around the globe in commemoration of the geometric formula that can be used to determine the circumference of a circle. First recognized in the U.S. in 1988, Pi Day became nationally recognized in 2009 after the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution, dubbing it National Pi Day here in the United States.

This year, celebrities, mathematicians, businesses, sports teams, and foodies kept the social media showcase going, sharing their love of the world’s most irrational number with followers near and far.

Somewhere in its history, Pi Day has become another Pi(e) Day — with fans of the baked dessert snapping and posting pictures of their celebratory treats.

Famed country singer Dolly Parton even shared her favorite walnut pie recipe.

Those a little more rooted in math and science took a more educational approach.

The Big Bang Theory” star and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik took a moment to show that Pi can be a great accessory.

Not to be left out, the country’s sports teams followed suit, finding some pretty clever ways to celebrate the number of the day.

 

Happy #PiDay!

Popular retailers and businesses also found ways to celebrate Pi Day, mainly by offering consumers some pretty tasty deals.

Whole Foods and a number of franchises offered patrons deals with special pricing truly fit for a special day.

Whether they involved numbers and calculations, some crafty dough cuts or saving a few bucks on a bite to eat, the posts that have crossed our timelines have easily made this Pi Day another one for the (math) books.
