Greek Pi by Google
Google remembers Greek Pi on Sunday 14 March
In Ulm, March 14, 1879 was born Albert Einstein: the birthday of one of the greatest geniuses of all time is the date chosen by many mathematicians to remember and celebrate Greek Pi .Disagreements within the leading experts from around the world, there are those who celebrate July 22 remembering Archimedes, but Google has joined the first group and the day on Sunday 14 March, has dedicated its logo to the mathematical value.The translation of the date also corresponds to the numbers “3, 14″, with the couple-months of 14 days and then the third month, March.
Celebrations bordering on manic madness, as they arrive to be accurate, as Wikipedia explains, “The day is devoted to pi greek ,March 14: The choice was inspired by the Anglo-Saxon writing for this day, 3.14, writing that calls to the nearest with three digits of pi greek. Someone tries to celebrate the famous transcendental number at exactly 1:59 pm, in order to adapt to the nearest 3.14159 six figures. ”Google is then covered with numbers to remember the Greek Pi, the value that characterizes many formulas in the world of physics and engineering.Google doodle celebrates Greek Pi.Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 .He was one of the greatest geniuses of all time , the same date is chosen by many mathematicians to remember and celebrate Greek Pi .Disagreements within the leading experts from around the world, there are those who celebrate July 22 remembering Archimedes, but Google has joined the first group and the day on Sunday 14 March, has dedicated its logo to the mathematical value.The translation of the date also corresponds to the numbers “3, 14″, with the couple-months of 14 days and then the third month, March.

HistoryNumber among the most fortunate in the millenary history of mathematics, the “pi greek” really moves the first steps among the Babylonians, that two thousand years before Christ were calculated as the length of the circumference of a circle is equal to roughly three times thediameter. Were more accurate, more today to celebrate the Babylonian, Egyptian or jew or most since the same theme have hare-brained all people who succeeded on the stage, then Central Asia, the Near East. A center was done, however, Archimedes of Syracuse, indicating the value of pi greek (or Sicilian? At least Great Greek) in the range between 223/71 and 22 / 7.The greek symbol pi was only introduced in 1706 by Welsh mathematician William Jones, who used the most in honor of Pythagoras disregarding the merits of Archimedes, and was later popularized by Leonhard Euler. Given its long history, then, more than most should be called alpha greek Italian, one of the early success of Made in Italy.
The festival
The feast of pi greek officially debuted in 1988 Exploratorium in San Francisco, and has since spread and grew in importance until the “bubble” Journal obtained last year by the U.S. House of Representatives, which approved a resolution to support the Pi Day around the world. Even Italy is to look: among the most active in the celebrations is the Politecnico di Torino, but today the greek pi is also dropped in the square in Udine, where the entire historic center is engaged in the challenges of logic, mathematics and memory.
