Pi Day, falls on March 14th(or 3/14, echoing the first three digits of the mathematical constant). A year ago, to mark the occasion, we asked the mathematician Steven Strogatz to write an essay for our Web site explaining why pi is worth celebrating. Pi, he wrote, “puts infinity within reach.” It’s also crucial to the math not just of circles but of cycles (which are, when you think about it, circles in time). Pi, Strogatz pointed out, “appears in the math that describes the gentle breathing of a baby.” Structural engineers use it to think about earthquakes. Oceanographers use it to think about waves. It’s everywhere.

And this is what I know and feel that numbers are everywhere, numbers matter!  We intuitively grasp and understand this!  Little kids get hold of an iPhone and they immediately grasp the computing power in their small hands!
