A humanist manifesto that brings together mathematicians and math educators around the globe to promote the message that math, in particular pi, must be humanized and inclusive rather than indifferent and elitist.
In an age of AI, where machines could spread π misinformation and disinformation, it’s of paramount importance that movements like “Pi Needs You!” reside in the mathematical consciousness of an oft-semi-innumerate lay public.

Get the Naked Pi mug.When the number π is hinting to math educators worldwide to turn the wealth of wisdom about her, which has been unearthed over the centuries by thousands of men and women of mathematics, to launch or produce “new” math products that would help them generate a new or rich source of income.
Mathepreneur Ian has identified a few game-changing ideas that have laid hidden in quiet cul-de-sacs in both academia and in publishing houses—he’s doing nothing new but answering to pi calling.
