Mathletes love pi. It's such a well-known mathematical constant that most of us can recite it to at least a handful of digits. Pi is so popular it even has its own day of celebration — Pi Day — marked around the world on March 14th. Pi appears in tons of formulas in all areas of mathematics, physics, and computing, and even made it into a Kate Bush song. The fact that pi is represented as the cute little Greek "pi" symbol makes it all the easier to love. To celebrate all things we adore about Archimedes' constant we've pulled together a great gift guide for all things pi-themed so suit you, or any special pi fans in your life.
