Are you implying that Americans don't observe Pi day?

Of course you, an American, wouldn't understand.
He said that because Americans already see their date as 3/14, where as we see it as 14/3.

So what 14th month do you observe pi day?
[QUOTE=Dr.Critic;47321226]Americans, look at the date, now back at the video[/QUOTE]
Wouldn't it be the other way around? Since you guys see it as something like 14/3/15?
You guys make us all look like idiots.
What's so special about Pi? It's just one out of many recognized irrational numbers.

Americans: Month/Day/Year
Everyone else: Day/Month/Year

It's a solution of exp(ix) + 1 = 0, an equation which is only satisfied by odd multiples of pi.

It's a pop culture thing. Most people will learn a lot about pi due to the importance of circles. Not many people remember e or i or any of the other sort of level mathematical representations.
Also because pie lol

It's the ratio of diameter to circumference. It has a pretty large mathematical significance. Most of the other recognized irrational numbers don't apply until you reach higher level math or have more niche applications, so they're not as popular.

Well, yes, but I think it has a much more well-known physical significance.

It's very useful for asserting that omg im such a nerd

yeah but that's about it, because of that it crops up in many things that derive from a circle, such as the measurement of radians and such, and thus why it appears in stuff like coloumb's law.
