March 14

What!

What! No questions on this 3.14... day? Geesh, and on the Math desk of all things ;-) -hydnjo (talk) 00:20, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you've got a question, ask it. You've done it before. All right-thinking mathematicians know that the twenty-second of July is the true pi day, anyway. Algebraist 00:42, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you'll have more luck on e day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.255.228.5 (talk) 01:13, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which is presumably either the 8th of March, the 11th of April, on the 19th of July. Algebraist 01:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest none of those convergents are good enough to deserve a dedicated day on the calendar. e will then suffer the fate of many other irrational numbers which are too rational to be celebrated. --Xedi^Talk 07:53, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a big fan of non-trivial-geometric-mean day... the next three being 2009 March 27th, 2010 April 25th, and 2010 May 20th. There's a few more in 2012, one in 2014, 2015, and 2018, and then none until the next century. (So long as the year is the geometric mean of the day and month....)

Well now, that's better! -hydnjo (talk) 08:59, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The question is (for me), where is this horror vacui coming from, talking about no-question days? On the contrary, I look forward the empty event, and will greet its content as the trivial object of the RD/M, something that we should miss... ;) --pma (talk) 09:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That horror vacui would be coming from me. Empty days seem so unfull, much more so than even trivial barely math at all inquiries ;-) hydnjo (talk) 10:54, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
