Pi Day Poem by BASAB CHAUDHURI

You know a circle,
don't you?

It has a diameter—
half of it
is the radius.

Its outer curve
is the circumference.
Divide that curve
by the diameter,
and a lovely number appears—
pi.

Up to two decimal places
it reads simply:
3.14.

March 14—
another way
of writing pi,
as Larry Shaw once noticed
in 1988
at the Exploratorium
in San Francisco.

March 14 -
Einstein's birthday too.

From Archimedes
measuring circles with patient polygons
to our own
Aryabhata
and the brilliant
Srinivasa Ramanujan -

pi has glowed
in the eyes
of many great minds.

Today is Pi Day.
Let us remember
and bow in respect
to those towering spirits—
the geniuses of mathematics.
