Today marks Pi Day, celebrated on March 14 in honor of the mathematical constant π (3.14), which is integral to disciplines like physics and engineering.

Pi Day coincides with the birthday of famed physicist Albert Einstein, known for his theory of relativity and the formula E=mc2.

The concept of Pi Day began in 1988 at San Francisco's Exploratorium and was officially recognized by Congress in 2009.

Festivities encourage sharing of Raspberry Pi projects, emphasizing community involvement and the recognition of the original creators.

Pi Day serves as a reminder of mathematics' critical role in everyday life and technological advancements, including satellite communication and space exploration.
