Celebrated by millions people around the world, Pi-Day on March 14 brings out the math geek in all of us. To honour this special occasion, Dr. Peter Zvengrowski, with the University of Calgary will take us around the world to explore the purpose of Pi, from the Great Pyramid of Giza, to a stein of beer, to the German 10 Mark bill, and to the cutting edges of computer technology. Pi’s early beginnings date back to the ancient Greeks and Chinese, but did you know recent developments come from India, Russia and – of course – Canada! Join us, more Pi please!
