Pi Day and the Ancient World

To commemorate "Pi Day" here at DCS, we have a lot of events planned. Latin class is no exception! We can pitch in with our knowledge of the ancient world and Pi - after all, it isn't just a number 3.14159 but also a Greek letter!

Today, we are going to talk about Archimedes and his approximation of Pi. He was one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, and made many discoveries regarding physics and mathematics.

I just wanted to attach these short clips to give more detail about Pi and Archimedes. Enjoy!
