When a very small percentage of white privileged parents in some red states want public schools to fine or fire math and science teachers who preach that the number π is irrational; instead, they want them to teach that pi’s “true” value is three, citing 1 Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2 in the Bible as “proof” for their claim.
Under the banner of "parents' rights," a small aggressive group of alt-right Trumpublicans and “fine” patriots expect their oft-morally bankrupt senator to push for woke pi in all schools statewide.

Hard math projects that would require the best of talents and skills from both mathematicians and math educators regionally or globally, as their monumental effort aims to positively impact the community or society.
Just as landing someone on the moon propelled and produced unprecedented payoffs and unpredictable spinoffs, by creating entirely new markets and industries, solving moonshot math problems has the potential of giving birth to new products and new businesses, and creating new jobs.

The feeling of anger, stupidity, and loss when someone feels alienated for not being able to participate in casual conversations with their geeky colleagues and friends, who never stop cracking and sharing pi jokes and factoids on mathematics’s most beloved day of the year.
Guesstimate how percents of math-anxious folks worldwide suffer from the Pi Day Syndrome to some degree, without being consciously aware of it.

When you refuse to give up even when others have disappointed or deserted you, as new restorations or resurrections are on your way—before Jesus went to the cross to die for our sins, He was so troubled in the Garden of Gethsemane that He asked his disciples to stay there and pray for Him, but He couldn’t rely on them for their support because they fell asleep.
Are disappointments, betrayals, or sicknesses taking their toll on your life? Look no further, because there is grace for every Gethsemane if you would only turn to the Son of God for your deliverance and healing. Let Him turn the frustrations and obstructions into resurrections and promotions.

When the number π is being spied 24/7/365 online and trolled by envious or jealous numerical constants, who couldn’t stand her global appeal or fame, as thousands of mathematicians and math educators worldwide maniacally devote an obscene number of hours every year trying to discover hidden properties about her.
Constants like e and 𝛷, conspiring with √2 and i, have been repeatedly accused of pi persecution, because they’ve allegedly or unprovenly ganged up to serially and spitefully downvote any old and new Urban Dictionary entries on π every day.

When the number pi looks so different when she dresses up in various typefaces or fonts (regular, italic, bold, bold-italic)—her facial expression or mood changes in different typographical settings.
Unlike in Helvetica or Times New Roman, the number pi looks quasi-unrecognizable in Avenir Next, be it in regular, italic, or bold. They’re not being critical when they commented that not all pi’s are created equal.

This is the name a number of educational publishing houses, owned by oft-morally bankrupt bosses ought to call their company, who unspokenly expect their editorial team to behave unethically to justify their obscene pay and those of their family members.
How many local family-owned publishers and foreign publishers in Singapore meet the criteria of a “Pinocchio Publishing” company?
