PIZZA PIE & SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER

YES, today is PI day. Pi is the ratio of a circle's “the distance around it” to “its distance across its center.” Why do we care? Phone’s GPS relies on to calculate precise location by calculating the intersection of spheres of the satellite travel, Mariners use it to calculate "great circle" routes, the shortest distance between two points on a sphere—to determine exactly how much fuel is needed for a trip. It measures "revolutions per minute" (RPM) of engine parts, and industrial turbines. Cybersecurity depends on Pi because it is an infinite, non-repeating number, its sequence of digits is used to generate the "randomness" required for encryption algorithms that protect your online bank accounts. MRI and CT scans rely on complex math where helps reconstruct 3D images of the human body from circular data points. Calculating the volume of a ship's hull—often involving complex curves and cylindrical sections—requires to determine exactly how much water the ship will displace and keeping it buoyant.

YES, our family always loved PI DAY (see some photos from past years) and this year was no exception. After PIZZA and PECAN HAWAIIAN PIE, the evening is concluded with Saturday Night Fever night and live music from the movie for late night dancing/drinking.Läs mer
