Celebrate Pi Day with Lumia and Windows Phone
The mathematical constant Pi (3.1415 and in Greek, it’s“π”) is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and tomorrow, March 14, is the annual commemoration of Pi Day. Let’s have some Lumia fun celebrating the most famous ratio in mathematics.
While simple in concept, pi is famous in part because it’s an “irrational number.”
As this explanation states: “Computer scientists have calculated billions of digits of pi, starting with 3.141
59265358979323…, but because no recognizable pattern emerges in the succession of its digits, we could continue calculating the next digit, and the next, and the next, for millennia.”
Pi also exists in the natural world, everywhere you see a circle, such as the pupil of the eye or the concentric rings that travel outward when you throw a stone into a pond. So in homage to Pi day tomorrow–3.14.15–here are some ways to celebrate with the help of Lumia and Windows Phone.
On Pi Day only, you can purchase an Xbox Music Pass for $31.41 (regular price: $99). This offer is available for new subscriptions and renewals; get your pass at a Microsoft Store or online.
