Pi Day is celebrated annually on March 14 to recognise the mathematical constant π (pi), which represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. The date 3/14 corresponds to the first three digits of pi, which are 3.14. The day is widely observed by students, mathematicians and science enthusiasts through activities such as math quizzes, puzzles, and pi recitation competitions. Pi Day was first celebrated in 1988 by physicist Larry Shaw at the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco. Later, in 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives officially recognised the day to encourage interest in mathematics and science education worldwide.
