Pi Plus

When the number π is being blessed today as a symbol of global recognition that few remember that she was once addicted to geometry, particularly chained to the circle (until she gained her freedom thanks to her contributions to other branches of mathematics), and suffered centuries-long depression as mathematicians vied to assign her the best approximate value based on their methods of computation.

From her early humble days in Greece in the hands of Archimedes, when they’re trying to determine a good approximation for her, the number π has hitherto remained a constant of choice among the mathematical brethren, who hope that the discovery of pi plus secrets would help advance their career and achieve mathematical fame or immortality.

Pi Tense

When numerologists or paranormal gurus claim that the present value of the transcendental number π on a planet or from a galaxy was different in the past and will change again in the future due to competing invisible forces in the spiritual realm.

A Fields medalist confided to some close faculty colleagues that he believes in the pi tense hypothesis albeit he couldn’t prove it.

Pi Lockdown

When the frequency of the number π gracing the pages of reputable math journals took a dive during the pandemic, when both male and female mathematicians and math educators worldwide, working from home, felt half-productive or fell sick from Covid-19.

Guesstimate how many pure mathematicians globally had some mental health issues during the pi lockdown in 2020–2021.

pi time

pi = approximately 3.14
therefore, when the clock shows 3:14, it is Pi Time!

An excellent time to eat pie.

Dude check out the clock, it's 3:14 - better heat up that cherry pie yo mama made cuz it's pi time!

Pi Moment

When the public announcement of the proof of a famous unsolved problem on π turned out to be short-lived, because the result was later found to contain grave errors.

Mathematicians worldwide were excited to hear that the number (π + e) has been proved to be transcendental (i.e., its value can’t be the root of an algebraic equation with rational coefficients), but the news was nothing but a pi moment.

Pi Sigma

Pi Sigma is a diverse sorority of cannabis-proud women also known as the Pink Sesh Society. From sophisticated women who run executive board meetings, to elegant mothers handling family business, these women live unapologetically, celebrate each other, and enjoy cannabis.

I can't wait to become a member of Pi Sigma and meet new friends and sisters.

Pi-Head

A person fascinated with the decimal expansion of pi (3.14...)

It would take a Pi-Head to know how far pi has been expanded by today's super computers
