Let Them Eat Pi!

What's your favorite kind of pie?  Apple?  Blueberry? Pumpkin?  Humble?

Around these parts, at least in our Math Department, it's 3.1415926535.  A Pi of a different sort, obviously.  That's why every March 14th - as in 3.14, the universally known abbreviation for the mathematical constant Pi, for all you English faculty members - folks in MCC's Math Department celebrate their geekiness by rolling out a plethora of pies for National Pi Day! 

Now, knowing the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its radius, here, you can see Beth Fraser and Carol Hay, two of our Mathelicious faculty members showing off their piewares for any and all on the Lowell campus to come and enjoy.  And to bump the geek quotient up even one more notch, it doesn't hurt that it's also Albert Einstein's birthday, either.

So, in honor of our math folks and today's special significance, we present our first annual MCC National Pi Day Jokes:

What do you get if you divide the circumference of a jack-o-lantern by its diameter?
Pumpkin pi.

What do you get when you take a bovine and divide its circumference by its diameter?

What do you get when you take a native Alaskan and divide its circumference by its diameter?
