Masked by Pi

When a formula looks more complex than it is because it contains the constant π, whose sight or sound often frightens those who suffer from math anxiety.

Guesstimate how many mature students worldwide are reluctant to sign up for short math or statistics courses to upgrade themselves, because they are masked by pi.

Pi Politics

The use of different values for the irrational number π to poke fun at the differing polarized views parroted by mostly hypothetical or morally bankrupt politicians in the land of senseless deaths, which occur practically every day due to zero public ban on guns.

An example of pi politics among ultra-MAGA voters is:

Trump: π = 22/7 (because it is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle).

Pence: π = 3 (because the Bible tells me so).

DeSantis: π = x, where x is awaiting final approval by “woke” censors.

Pi of Life

When mathematics can not only help someone to be logical and rational, but it can also help them to be humble, gracious, resilient, joyful, and happy—they can experience the hidden happiness of mathematics and the good life.

If mathematics is the key to understanding the workings of the universe, schools and teachers play a key role in ensuring that students are exposed to the pi of life—when they can experience joy and happiness through math.

What the Papa John's Pizza employee yells
when you walk in on him in the bathroom cause he forgot to lock the door. He is naked and his clothes are in piled in the corner.

When his mom walked in the bathroom and caught him beating off, he yelled
ocu-pie-d, ocu-pie-d

Pi in the Sky

When the value of the mathematical pi is exactly three, which can be inferred from two verses in the Bible (1 Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2)—the “biblical pi” contradicts the mathematicians’ value, which is about 3.14 or 22/7.

How does one reconcile the value of pi in the sky with the irrational value of pi on earth? Could theologians or theomaticians explain the missing “0.14” bit to the mathematical brethren?
