Pi Day 3-14-2021



This blog has several posts about pi, including one that used random numbers to estimate pi.

Matt Parker and Steve Mould posted a YouTube video demonstrating how to estimate pi using Avogadro's number (Avogadro's number is used in chemistry and is the number of particles in one mole of a substance).
