ADEPTAPRIL/JUL22


 Mistigram: today is the 22nd day of the seventh month, which in some reckonings is displayed as 22/7 ... which happens to be a common and popular (though technically different -- but often "close enough") approximation of the value of the irrational constant #π. This #ANSIart celebration of the occasion was drawn by AdeptApril.

ADEPTAPRIL/MAR14

 


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.
