Happy Pi Day!  Tomorrow, 3-14 (because of 3.14), is Pi Day, and it is also Einstein’s birthday.  As an Asian American blog, we should take this opportunity to crack out the math books to celebrate.

There really is an Asian component to this too.  Mr. Chao Lu is the world record holder for reciting pi to the most decimal places (67,890).  It took him a year to memorize the digits, and it took 24 hours and four seconds with no sleep or bathroom breaks to actually recite them.  24 hours without taking a leak.  That’s some serious chi gung power.
