Friday math movie – Pi Day
To celebrate Pi Day, this week we have some clips from the 1998 movie “Pi“.
Pi Day is on March 14th, since the date (3/14) is reminiscent of the first 3 digits of the number pi. Here’s pi to 15 decimal places:
3.141 592 653 589 793…
On with the movie.

Numerology is important in most religions. In this clip, we see how numbers are used through Jewish scripture:

Thanks for the enlightening review of Pi, Vlorbik. You made an good point about the relative costs of movie making.
There is something insane about making mega-blockbusters that cost mega-bucks, especially when we have mega real problems that could be easily solved with those mega-bucks…

Hello Sindhu
I just tried all 3 movies on this page just now and they are all working fine for me.
Anyone else having trouble?
And Sindhu, thanks for the mention of squareCircleZ on your “blag”!
[Actually, you can recite lots of digits of pi, if you really want to ^_^ ]
