Today, March 14, 2012, Pi Day is celebrated all over the world... and it's an English initiative that proposes a day dedicated to this infinite number, for which a song has been dedicated... which in my opinion is very beautiful and fun! (the video is also great)

For the most curious, I am providing the web link that makes available the first 100 thousand digits of this unlimited number...

Since we are on theme, I suggest a movie: Pi: The Delirium Theorem

I can't say much!! I don't remember much... it's a film that almost needs to be studied haha

I watched it very superficially and in some parts with one eye closed (due to tiredness).

Now that I've remembered, I'll ask my friend to lend it to me.

I can tell you that if you like those things that go beyond what you find written in common mathematics books.... then it's for you.

Best wishes to all the popes in the world... and especially to all the Giuseppes who are also celebrating their name day today... 😃
