In recognition of the infinitely long mathematical constant Pi, the Math Honors Society served pie to teachers in celebration of the number’s national day: Tuesday, March 14.

March 14 was chosen for Pi Day since the first three numbers of pi, which is a math constant representing the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, is 3.14.

“There are two transcendental numbers in math that naturally exist: pi and e,” calculus teacher Jennifer Rumery said. “Everyone knows Pi, so this is a good way for the Math Honors Society to say thank you to the teachers.”

Teachers stopped by the mailroom throughout the day to grab a slice from one of the dozens of pies including pumpkin, cherry and apple selections.

“Anything we can do to make math more approachable is a good thing,” calculus teacher Jeff Schrantz said. “We’re just trying to raise awareness of it, but it’s just something we can do to make each others lives better by treating each other to pie.”
