a most unusual day, especially if you're a circle

In their own way, mathematicians all over the world are explaining to other mathematicians - really, who else would listen - why today is a very special day.

Imagine if there were a more precise calendar, like if instead of 365 units of 1440 minutes each, modern calculating instruments yielded a choice of smaller units more closely attuned to sunrise and moonrise, and each unit could have a really cool name.... Then a 10-digit Pi Day might occur more than once a century. Or not.

Enough headaches for one morning?

Enjoy this!
