Tau Day
One of the major contributions Archimedes made to mathematics was his method for approximating the value of Pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. There is now an online movement to celebrate Tau, the number you get when you use a circle's radius instead. Tau is approximately 6.28, instead of the familiar constant Pi, which is 3.14. There is much opinion and controversy surrounding this new movement. Nevertheless, Tau Day is celebrated on June 28. Here are some Tau resources for you to explore.
