Pi Day celebration
Tuesday, 14 March 2023 at 2:00-3:00
Maxim Doucet Hall room 206
Faculty, staff, undergraduate, and graduate students are invited to join the AMS Graduate Student Chapter in celebrating Pi Day/International Day of Mathematics. We will serve several different types of pie as well as coffee and tea and offer pi-related activities (you are welcome to bring ideas of your own - extra pie goes to the person with the most creative activity). The gathering is very informal, so feel free to drop in for a time of socialization as your schedule allows.
