Tomorrow is March 14 – that’s 3.14, better known as Pi Day. In case you forgot all your maths, the number pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, and its approximate value is 3.14. The value of pi was discovered by Greek mathematician + inventor Archimedes back in the 2nd century B.C.E. (he’s also the guy who’s famous for yelling “Eureka!”). The symbol π was first used in 1706.
And now that class is dismissed, you’re probably craving more sweet knowledge. Lucky for you, Pi Day is also allll about...well, pie. Get it? So while we may not remember everything from pre-calculus, we’re sure our teachers would be proud that we’re celebrating – and also supporting local piemakers.
To get ready for this unofficial holiday, we asked y’all who has the best pie in Columbia – and the recommendations go on and on and on.
Here’s where you can celebrate tomorrow. And we won’t judge if you try all nine locations because being rational is hard.
