pi, pie, and more pi

Well, I just added my killer chemistry poll question. We will see how many of you (if any) get it correct. I will give you a hint, the equation PV=nRT will be very helpful. I am enjoying my week of exam free class periods. But next week I have a calc. exam on thursday and then a chem. exam on friday. I should have an interesting week. My only happy thought will be "next week is spring break, next week is spring break". I hope that it will get me through my crazy and harrowing exams.

On a lighter note. I spent the afternoon in bed. Not in the way you are thinking, I was doing homework, but lying in your own bed doing calc. series, I could think of worse ways to spend a very rainy afternoon. I was completely soaked coming back from class today so nothing felt better than to curl up with a calculus text book and some hot tea. Yes, I know that a calculus text book may not be your choice of reading material, but I find it very enjoyable (sorry, I know I'm a math geek) (and what I'm about to tell you isn't going to make it any better).

Tomorrow, as I'm sure you know, is March 14th. But few of you may realize that march 14th is in fact Pi day, not the eating kind, the math kind. 3.14 is, of course, the first three digits of pi. Now in honor of this very special day I am going to bake a pie for my family. So now maybe you wish that you too had a pie baking math geek in the family. I'm am going to make it in my pi dish that I got for christmas. My pi dish is decorated with the famous numbers and the honor deserving symbol itself, I get the giggles when ever I see it. (OK, so maybe that is a little concerning, but love me love my math).



Cheers!

Amendment 1: No chemistry fact today. Try to figure out the chem question.

Amendment 2: Tomorrow, a look at what pi has done for us, and maybe some pie details as well.

Amendment 3: Love me, love my pi (pie)!
