Pi Day is coming March 14! National Pi Day Celebrates Education and its Importance in All Our Lives

/in , /by


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 13, 2013

March 14 (3.14) is National Pi Day.

Why Pi? What is National Pi Day?

Beloved worldwide, pi is simply the irrational number π = 3.14… It is used to

calculate the circumference of a circle – any circle – among a multitude of other applications in math, physics, and engineering.

In 2009, the United States House of Representatives declared March 14 (3.14) to be

National Pi Day. They passed resolution HR 224 to celebrate the importance of math,

science, and education in our lives.

No longer reserved only for the geek culture, pi is fun, approachable, and entertaining. Learning the first 10 digits is, well, as easy as pi (3.141592653).

As an example, the letter count of each word below corresponds numerically to the first 10 digits in pi.

        Wow I made a short memorable pi string, could you?

         3 1 4    1     5         9         2     6        5     3

The team at piZone.org works to remind us that math and science are present in all of our everyday lives. All technology, from the wheel to the Smart Phone to GPS, utilizes physical laws that are described in terms of mathematics.

Through videos, online games, activities, demos, and events, piZone engages students, educators, and the public in the fun and importance of action learning as a means to inspire the next generation of scientists, researchers, doctors, educators, and techies who will spur new life-impacting innovation.

Beyond being just a number, pi can also be an expression of art, dance, music, and writing. When learning is informative, entertaining, and sensory, it encodes more efficiently and effectively into the participant’s brain. When learning is fun and engaging, it sparks curiosity and a desire to discover, explore, and question. The ability to think critically is essential to people living in our high-tech world.

pi activities and events:

The New San Francisco Exploratorium – soon to open in April 2013, the new Exploritorium provides students and the public with hands-on science fun that inspires and engages. This Pi Day look up! Pi in the Sky – an artistic skywriting event – will occur on Pi Day above the new Exploritorium building. Pi in the Sky, created by conceptual artist ISHKY, is a visual representation of pi – 100 digits of pi written in dot-matrix numbers by 5 airplanes in formation over the San Francisco Bay.    

SXSW Music Festival and Conference – The pizone.org team recently spoke at the educational arm of the South by Southwest Festival and Conference in Texas. To pass on the pi – pizone plans to inspire thought and engagement at the SXSW music festival with different pi sayings on 9 colored stickers, distributed to only 10% of the crowd, sparking curiosity in participants to seek out others to see what their stickers say. They are encouraged to share their fun via posts, tweets, images, and videos.

Bill Gates’ Big History Project – This project inspires our big picture thinking.    

pizone.org provides students and educators with fun math and science demos, games, and videos to inspire and engage on topics of math and science via pi (pie) recipes, an interactive sticker game, a contest, and songs such as the ABCs of Pi Song: a 6 year old sings 42 places in pi to the tune of the ABCs. It’s a sing-along.

All of these activities culminate in the question, “What can I do to support STEM education?” It starts with building awareness among the general public about the vital importance of funding education, with an eye on the future and its impact on all of us. Imagine our future if we don’t. Having a well-educated workforce utilizes technology to drive innovation, in turn creating better lives for us all. We all have a piece of this educational pi.

You’re invited to share the pi.

Business and business invoice templates

/in , /by

Competition is rife in today’s business world, and worse the environment is steadily becoming more competitive and hostile to young and upcoming businesses. To survive this cut throat environment businesses have been forced to develop more advanced methods of tackling day to day business problems, which are a part of the normal business happenings.

The current financial situation requires a more pro-active as opposed to a re-active approach to problem solving, a fact that most businesses have to come to terms with early if they are to survive. The situation has become so serious that businesses are developing solutions for problem they anticipate even before they start operations.

There are several online and downloadable solutions to help the young or even well established business in combating some of the problems and challenges in the business environment. The main things to consider are that these solutions should ideally be custom built for the business taking into account that no two businesses are alike in terms of the solutions that suit their needs. The second thing to consider is timing; applying the right solution may be critical, but applying it at the right time to the right problem is equally important.

One such solution is the business invoice. The business invoice is a document setting out the details of goods or services sold to a customer, and the amount of money owed and the details of the terms of the sale. It may also include terms of the sale such as COD or the number of days of credit allowed.

The purpose of the business invoice is twofold. The first is to provide a convenient way for you to monitor your sales vis-à-vis payment system. By using a well prepared business invoice template, you can automatically generate reminders when accounts are overdue. The second function is to remind your customers the details of the transaction and the exact nature of obligations they owe to your business.
