This week Wolfram and math enthusiasts around the world are honoring an unusually significant Pi Day. Taking place on 3/14/15, at 9:26:53 am and pm the date and time will represent the first 10 digits of ? in a once-in-a-century event.
This year, why not add to your Pi Day celebrations by participating in our Pi Day Tweet a Program Challenge? Were looking for your coolest Pi related code, like neat visuals of operations on radii or anything else that shows off your Pi savvy. Check out the examples below if you need some inspiration:
Compute the area of a sphere: Integrate[r^2Sin[th], {phi, 0, 2Pi}, {th, 0, Pi}] The result involves Pi and it is equal to the area of four circles: https://twitter.com/wolframtap/status/570173450842730496
Find palindromes in pi: "here's a large palindrome-like pattern very early in pi 3.141592653589 (79) 32] {38} (46264)3{38} [32 If only it weren't for that pesky extra 3.?"
