Halmos Pi Day a Rousing Success
On March 14, the Halmos College Department of Mathematics hosted its annual Pi Day Celebration. For this special day, over 100 students, faculty, and staff enjoyed pieces of pie sponsored by the NSU’s Office of Alumni Fund. While enjoying pieces of apple, cherry, peach, and other pie flavors, everyone learned how Pi, a mathematical constant, is so important to space exploration.
Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159.
