Today is 3/14, or π Day to the mathematically minded.  That's π, or Pi, which some of you will undoubtedly recall from your high school geometry classes - it's an irrational number that is famously approximated at 3.14 - but in reality, the number doesn't end there by a longshot.  Pi, more accurately expressed, is 3.141592653... off into infinity.  As far as we can tell, the string of decimals never ends, and no recognizable pattern ever emerges.  That's irrational - yet it's one of the fundamental constants of modern mathematics.

Now why, pray tell, am I talking about Pi here on the AskPatty blog?  Well, Chevy has released a pretty darn cool video for this year's Pi Day using the irrational number to illustrate the various features of their new Volt.  Head past the jump to watch the video, and remember to celebrate Pi today wherever you see a circle!
