Thank you,
Marek Krasnansky, PhD.

Happy Pi Day SPACE Club! Hope it has been a great day so far.

Have you wondered about the history of pi? If so, check out this article from Rutgers University written in the Spring of 2000: https://sites.math.rutgers.edu/~cherlin/History/Papers2000/wilson.html
***Remember, this article was published 20 years ago, so there has been advancement since then.***

Now, there has been over thirty trillion digits of pi that has been calculated! Read more about this achievement here: https://www.npr.org/2019/03/14/703566696/the-woman-who-calculated-31-trillion-digits-of-pi)
