Pi Day - Tumblr Posts
Have an Ema for Pi Day! I drew this for my math teachers, wish me luck- one of them's kinda scary.
Edit: Thank you all the people that reblogged and liked this!
Why am I only learning about the Mid-March mini holiday season here on Tumblr? We've got Pi day, followed immediately by the Ides of March, followed immediately by the day Homura resets the timeline to in Madoka Magica, and no one told me!
Cosmic Piece of Pi!
Did you know that pi is involved nearly anywhere you look? We’re not talking about your favorite pastry! Pi (also written as the Greek letter 𝞹, or the number 3.14159…) is an irrational number, which means it can’t be written as a simple fraction like ½. It is the ratio of a circle’s circumference (the distance around its edge) to its diameter (the distance across it) and will always be the same number, regardless of the circle’s size. Here are some places you can find pi in the universe around us!
Our Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, TESS, watches slices of the sky in its hunt for worlds outside our solar system — how many exoplanets are in its night-sky pie? Last July, TESS scientists created a mosaic of 208 images of the southern sky. At that time, it contained 29 confirmed and 1,000 possible exoplanets, and we’re still studying the data to find more. Since this awe-inspiring image is of the southern hemisphere (or half of a 3D circle), there will always be pi! Every slice contains something delicious for scientists to study.
Pi recently played a crucial role in new discoveries about Alpha Draconis, a well-studied pair of stars. After discovering these stars regularly eclipse each other, pi helped scientists learn more about them. Scientists detected the eclipses while monitoring the brightness of Alpha Draconis for periodic dips that could’ve been caused by planets passing between the star and us. Instead of a planet, though, researchers found that its smaller partner in crime was passing in between us and the larger star for about six hours at a time! 💫
Pi comes in handy as we learn more about these two stars. Knowing the percentage of the decrease in Alpha Draconis’ light and the formula for the area of a circle (A=𝞹r2 — or area equals pi times the square of the circle’s radius), scientists can predict the sizes of both stars. Because stars typically orbit in an elliptical (or oval) shape, pi also helps scientists use the detection of these eclipses to figure out the orbits of the two stars!
So far we’ve seen pi in many places! But it’s also interesting to look at where pi can’t be found! We mentioned earlier that many orbit calculations involve pi … but not every one does! Pi does not factor into calculations of hyperbolic orbits — orbits that aren’t complete, or don’t return to where they started — the same way that it does with elliptical orbits! This is most commonly seen with comets. While many comets orbit normally in our solar system, some oddballs just pass through, like the interstellar ‘Oumuamua that zipped passed us in 2017. ☄️
Perhaps the most popular place you may find pi is in the shape of a typical pie! While NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope studies gamma-rays, and not blueberries, we think this cool Fermi pie is worth sharing for Pi Day!
Find more ways scientists look up at the night sky and use pi here. And now, don’t be irrational, and go have some pi(e)! 🥧

Yooooooo my exams are over & I'm back!!!! I'll be able to post here again!!! 🎉🎊
(also I'm sooooo sorry for being late, the last few days have been extremely unproductive. Also, there's another reason...)
(...I was just waiting for a good day, maybe? 😂)
My end-of-semester exams begin from 1st March. Please wish me luck & pray for me, y'all. 🤞🤞 I won't be able to post stuff as often as earlier. I might be active here from 10th March, that's when my exams end.
Happy Pi Day!
Pie today, Julius Caesar's blood tomorrow.
Love is not pie. You won’t run out. Love is Pi. Real, irrational, and never-ending. Happy Pi Day, Love Rebels!

Happy Pi Day!!
I was watching Matt Parker's old pi videos and he mentioned a method of calculating pi using the prime numbers, so I figured that'd be a fun thing to do for this blog
I'm not sure how accurate it'll end up getting, so I'm just gonna leave it running for the rest of the day and give an update whenever I call it done. So far, it's gotten 4 digits but idk if it'll be able to do more
Code and video I mentioned below the cut
Constructive critisism on the code isn't discouraged. I don't plan on making money with my programs, but it would be nice to be able to get better at it
He talks about the method I'm doing at 1:38
It's Pi day!
So Miku made you a pie.
With lots of love!
