Happy Pi Day: 7 outrageous pies math geeks --or anyone -- can cook up
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Today, March 14 is a day to celebrate the number pi, the circle's circumference to its diameter --which is approximately 3.14. While it's unclear who actually invented pi, Welsh mathematician William Jones was the first to express pi as a ratio in 1707. But pies have been around long before that --approximately in 9500 BC.
So, let's celebrate this auspicious day with something that feeds our mind and body.
Here are 7 outrageously delicious pies to dish up for your favorite math geek -- or anyone else who likes pies.
