Mistigram: mathletes and mathemagicians alike rejoice today, setting aside their traditional rivalries in celebration of #pi, a number that "... is magic. It is a number that is infinite, universal, transcendental, and irrational." Even though the #π symbol was only first used in its current mathematical form in 1706, coined by William Jones, it is difficult to imagine the world without it -- a world of collapsed churches and crumbled bridges. This #ANSIart screen celebrating #PiDay was drawn by AdeptApril of Storm BBS.
