On March 14, the global community will observe the day of the transcendental number “pi”, of the waterways, and of the canonical tome.

On Tuesday, March 14, math enthusiasts celebrate Pi Day. It should be noted that this party has an exact time. The fact is that in the American system of writing dates (first the month, then the day), the date of March 14 – 3/14 – and the time 1:59:26, coincides with the first digits of the famous constant ( 3.1415926 …). By the way, the first to pay attention to this in 1987 was a physicist from San Francisco, Larry Shaw.

The next global holiday is International Rivers Day. Previously, it was called the International Day against dams, for rivers, water and life. It appeared in 1997.

Orthodox Book Day is also celebrated. The holiday is timed to coincide with the release in 1564 of the first printed book in Russia – “The Apostle” by Ivan Fedorov. Established a commemorative date in December 2009
