On this Pi Day we've lost Stephen Hawking, who had a brilliant mind and a wicked sense of humor.

Sorry, I forgot that we had a Pi Day thread. I refer you to my post in the Link Thread.

I still occasionally snicker over MIT's school cheer:

"Cosine, secant, tangent, sine,
Three point One Four One Five Nine!"

That's from MIT? I heard that years ago in calculus class.


It's a shame that I've already covered so many pi related links in years past. I'm sure if anybody cares about discounts on pizza for today they can do the research themselves.



Here's What Pi Sounds Like again, but here are some new musical interpretations:


The Pi Waltz-turn pi into base 12 before you turn it into music!
The Sound of Pi with a simpler method, just assign the digits to ten adjacent keys. Not quite as nice as What Pi Sounds Like, but you have to admit that it has more of an ethereal quality.
Numperphile's attempt doesn't sound very good at all
