Did you know, Pi day is also Einstein’s Birthday?
Pi Day is an annual celebration commemorating the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 (or 3/14 in the U.S. month/day date format), since 3, 1, and 4 are the three most significant digits of π in the decimal form. In 2009, the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day. (Wikipedia)
National Pi Day is actually a U.S. holiday. The House of Representatives passed House Resolution 224 in 2009, designating March 14 as National Pi Day. The resolution “encourages schools and educators to observe the day with appropriate activities that teach students about Pi and engage them about the study of mathematics.” (Source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/03/13/pi-day-friday-31415/6369483/)

I live in the United States, and this is the first time I’ve read, heard, or otherwise discovered that Congress actually did this.
You are just as lucky wherever else in the world you reside on March 14th.

It’s common for school teachers to make a big deal about it so it is sometimes celebrated at school, but the general public usually doesn’t even know it’s happening. It’s more like an unofficial holiday.
