Did someone say free dessert? Pi Day, celebrated annually on March 14 (3/14, get it?), is a special occasion that honors the mathematical constant π (pi) and also coincides with Einstein's birthday. This day not only highlights the significance of pi in mathematics and its applications in various fields but also allows us to indulge in delicious pie. At JMP, Pi Day has evolved into a cherished tradition where teams gather to challenge each other on their memorization of pi's digits, participate in friendly pie-baking competitions, and recognize the endless possibilities that pi represents in our work.
Shown here: JMP celebrates Pi Day with employee challenges and contests. Many activities are held in front of our headquarters’ pi sculpture, "Pi in the Sky II," a 16-foot stainless steel masterpiece by artist Micajah Bienvenu.
