An Ode to Pi
March 14th marks a celebration of the famous irrational number pi (π).
As shown below, on his blog, Fredrik Johansson, a junior researcher at Canari, made a post that showed 100 different ways to code up the number pi. Ranging from 180° radians to finding a root of sin(x) that's closest to three (findroot(sin, 3)), these are various methods to calculate pi.
Also below is a YouTube link to the Pi song listing up to 100 digits of pi with additional lyrics. Additionally, people typically enjoy a slice of pie, as they are both homophones.
