Re: Pi Day 2009
Agreed, we Brits don't use American order of days and months. But do you Yanks think we should celebrate 'e' month in Feb '71? And if not, why not?

Re: Pi Day 2009
Neither do we in India. But then there's no 14th month in a year!
Yes, we can celebrate 'e' day on Jan 27th!

Re: Pi Day 2009
Britain could have Pi day on 31/4 if it wanted.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Pi Day 2009
I've never really heard of any sort of formal celebration for the day of the natural logarithm, but I'd assume that it'd be on the 27th of January, or maybe the 7th of February.

Re: Pi Day 2009
Happy Pi Day!
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

March 14 is also the birthday of Albert Einstein. A very auspicious day for the math & science community indeed.
