Pi Approximation Day
22 JUL, 2023
What is Pi Approximation Day celebrated?
Pi Approximation Day is observed on July
22 because the day of the month (22) divided
by 7 (7th month of the year) equals the
approximation of Pi (3.14)
Why is July 22 Pi Approximation Day?
• Pi Approximation Day is observed on July 22 (22/7
in the day/month date format), since the fraction
22⁄7 is a common approximation of π, which is
accurate to two decimal places and dates from
Archimedes
Who created pi?
• Archimedes of Syracuse
• The Egyptians calculated the area of a circle by a formula
that gave the approximate value of 3.1605 for π. The first
calculation of π was done by Archimedes of
Syracuse (287–212 BC), one of the greatest
mathematicians of the ancient world.
Pi Approximation Day Significance
• Pi Approximation Day is significant because it raises
awareness about pi, a mathematical constant that is central
to many fields of science and engineering.
• Pi Approximation Day celebrates pi and its importance in
mathematics and science.
• It is approximately equal to 3.14159
Pi Approximation Day Quiz
•Q1) What is the value of pi (π)?
3.14
Pi Approximation Day Quiz
•Q2) What is the formula for
the circumference of a circle?

Pi Approximation Day Quotes
•"Pi is not just a number, it's a symbol of the infinite
possibilities of mathematics." - Marcus du Sautoy
•"Pi is the intersection between the infinite and the
finite, the point where mathematics and reality
meet." - Steven Strogatz
THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAY
