Pi Day is celebrated annually on March 14 (Credit: Geralt/CCO/Flickr)

A holiday associated with a math constant may not seem very exciting. But Pi ("π") Day, observed annually in the US on March 14 (3/14), is an exception. That's because the celebrations may start with math activities centered around pi — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, widely recognized as 3.14. But they inevitably end with a slice or two of delicious pie!

          The person who set the world record for the highest recorded digits for pi is Google cloud developer advocate Emma Haruka Iwao who thinks in terms of trillions of pi digits. Haruka Iwao set a world record by calculating pi to 31.4 trillion digits using Google cloud technology. Here's the full mind-boggling number: 31,415,926,535,897 digits.
