We have 3 pi facts for you today. Enjoy!
1. Albert Einstein (you know, the physics guy) was born on … Pi Day! (His birth date is 3/14/1879.)
2. Did you know that pi wasn’t always \(\pi\)? William Jones (1645-1749) introduced the “\(\pi\)” symbol in 1706, and it was later popularized by Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) in 1737.
3. Plato (427-348 B.C.) supposedly obtained a fairly accurate (for his day) value for \(\pi\): \[\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} \approx 3.146.\]
