Happy Pi Day Everyone!!

As you may or may not know...I'm a nerd. I have 2 Bachelor degrees in Engineering and have attended more math classes than I'd like to admit. Geometry, Algebra, Statistics, Statics and Dynamics, Differential Equations, Physics, Calculus and more circuits classes than you can possibly imagine. The majority of these were at North Carolina State University...Go Wolfpack!

That said, I love a good math joke/meme and the Greek symbol Pi (π) is a good one and the mysterious number pi is one of the best.

Before we get in to the lulz, let's recall what pi exactly is. I grabbed this explination from

The circumference of a circle is its perimeter or the length around it. The distance from the center of a circle to its edge is the radius. The distance from one side of a circle to the opposite side (twice the radius) is the diameter. The area of a circle is the number of square units inside the circle.

Since circles can vary in size, yet they all retain the same shape, ancient mathematicians knew there had to be a special relationship amongst the elements of a circle. That special relationship turns out to be the mathematical constant known as pi.

Pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Regardless of the size of the circle, pi is always the same number. So, for any circle, dividing its circumference by its diameter will give you the exact same number: 3.14159…or pi.

Pi is also an irrational number, which means that its value cannot be expressed exactly as a simple fraction. As a result, pi is an infinite decimal. Although 22/7 gives a result that is close to pi, it is not the same number.

Ok, enough of the educational stuff...TAKE ME TO THE MEMES! If you are confused about some of the jokes, it just means that you aren't a hardcore nerd...and that's ok. Leave a comment and either I or the community will help out.

Even Google got in to the action:

...and it wasn't their first year.

OMG it's Rebecca Black...do u remember this song? Lulz.

I love this one. haha, pi is known as an "irrational number" because no equation is solve to it.

Whoa, and this is super nerdy...

Now a few to make u hungry.

And to finish things off with some pie of a different kind.

I hope u all enjoyed these nerdy (and possibly cheesy) pi jokes today. I'm definitely feeling a bit "white and nerdy" today.

Knowledge Drop:
In the "rap" video below, Weird Al references Stephen Hawking at the 45sec mark and "pi" at the 50sec mark.

Peace,
