And coming soon: Pi Day.

Edited to add: Jonathan‘s class enjoyed extending the concept to include other products. Using the m/d/yy format (not the 4-digit year), how many times in your life has it been true that month \times day = year ?

  1. I’ve seen a bunch of square root day posts today, but no one else had a photo of a tree with actual square roots. That’s pretty cool.

    1. I should offer a hat-tip to Miss Cellania, who wrote the first article above. She found the tree with square roots at Flickr and included it near the end of her post. I loved the picture and just had to use it.

  2. Love the photo! And, I wish I would have known earlier today… we could have had some square root fun! Thanks for the links!

  3. Thanks for finding these! I’m so sorry I missed it yesterday!

    The rootin’ tootin’ one is sad. The author is taking her stand as a math-phobe.
