"Pi Day Approaches"
Every year, math classes and mathematically-inclined individuals everywhere participate in pi day activities. As some may have observed, we here at MyMIT.info tend to like this mathematical constant. Our love of pi is quite irrational to say the least.
In order to celebrate our favorite number, we are holding a pi day chat. Come and join us on March 14, 2009 in the chat room as we discuss pi, other mathematical constants, MIT, and a myriad of other topics. The main event is from 12 PM to 5 PM Eastern Time.
You can find this event on our Facebook group.

Now I wonder what pi hour, minute, and second are, haha

@ Chinua:
Would we round up because the next digit is "5"?

@ Mark
No, because 6 is even, so you keep it as 26.

My birthday is on Pi Day!
Take a stab at what I eat instead of cake...

@Bilal
No, because a digit other than infinite zeroes come AFTER the 5 digit, if you were to genuinely round it, you would round it up to 7.
However, to both of you, genuinely one only truncates pi, not rounds it.
