Wishing a very Happy Pi Day to all!
This year's pi day can be represented as 03.14.15 resembles the figure (3.1415) correct upto 4 decimal places and hence is special. (In fact, next year's pi day would also be special if we take the value up-to 5 decimal digits (3.14159) and round them off making it 03.14.16 😛 )
Here are some fun facts and history about pi:
