Pi Check

When the number π signs checks and creditors decide not to cash them because they have gotten her signature on—when pi’s personality or identity is more valuable than the amount owned.

The pi check shows that a number of people would go for value rather than money, because money doesn’t calculate value, and value is often based on the wider contribution to culture or society.

Pi Velocity

The ability to quickly and effectively come up with new and creative ideas on or about the number π that are both useful and practical.

Pi velocity measures one’s capacity to produce the most number of pi results in the least amount of time, which occurs when there are minimal creative barriers and sufficient time spent on the math project.

A Pi-Free Math Book

The mathematical equivalent of a meeting-free day or passport-less travel. When the sight of the symbol π is enough to trigger panic or paranoia among billions of folks worldwide, who think they weren’t born or blessed with the “math gene.”

Just as a math book without equations or formulas could raise the sales figures by a few folds, a pi-free math book could give thousands of math-anxious folks more confidence in picking up a pop math book without feeling unduly stressed.
