Happy Pi Day!

Happy Pi Day!  In case you didn’t know, I’m a bit of a math nerd.  In elementary school, I would do mental math at night to fall asleep.  In High School, I competed in math competitions at the national level.  And, in college, I tutored both children and adults in the subject.  These days, I don’t get to do much math, beyond budgeting and counting my crochet stitches, but the subject still holds a soft spot in my heart.  Hey, here’s an interesting tid-bit of information, did you know there was once a religion based off of the man who gave us the Pythagorean Theorem?  True story!  The “Pythagoreans” believed that the body was like a tomb, within which the soul was buried deep inside.  They believed in reincarnation, and that, by adhering to strict rules, they could attain purity, break the cycle of reincarnation, and join the gods.  You can learn more here.
