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 14[sup]th[/sup] month in a year!
Yes, we can celebrate 'e' day on Jan 27[sup]th[/sup]!

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.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
