π takes the cake (or the tomato sauce)

To celebrate the mathematical constant ‘π’, Westlakegirls Maths Club held a fun event this week, memorizing significant figures of π. Students were encouraged to write down as many digits of pi as possible to enter this competitive event. It was also an event that enhanced House pride as students who participated gained House points for their Houses.

The purpose of celebrating π day was to help students understand the importance of π. It is not as simple as the value 3.14 appears on the exam paper. The constant helps us explain the universe with greater clarity in many other scientific fields like physics and even in piphilology, a study in how to memorize pi digits.

As one of  the leader of WGHS Math Club this year, I hope more people can understand how fabulous maths actually is!
