The world celebrates International Day of Mathematics and Pi Day
全球慶祝國際數學日與圓周率日
This date, written as 3/14, is famous as Pi Day because it mirrors the first three digits of the constant pi (π).
這個寫作3/14的日期，因為與圓周率（π）的前三位數字吻合，而被知名地定為「圓周率日」。
Created in 1988 by physicist Larry Shaw, the celebration originally involved eating fruit pies and celebrating science.
這個慶祝活動由物理學家拉里·蕭(Larry Shaw)於1988年創立，最早的慶祝方式包括吃派以及慶祝科學。
Interestingly, this date also marks the birthday of Albert Einstein.
有趣的是，這一天也正好是阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦的生日。
In 2019, UNESCO expanded this tradition by establishing the International Day of Mathematics (IDM).
2019年，聯合國教科文組織（UNESCO）將這項傳統擴展，訂定了「國際數學日」（IDM）。
While the fun of eating pies continues, the goal of IDM is to highlight how math is the universal language behind modern technology, medicine, and global problem-solving.
雖然吃派的樂趣依舊持續，但國際數學日的目標在於彰顯數學如何作為現代科技、醫學及全球解決問題背後的通用語言。
By making mathematics accessible and inclusive, the global community hopes to encourage more people—especially those historically underrepresented in STEM—to see math as a vital tool for change.
透過使數學更加容易親近且具包容性，全球社群希望能鼓勵更多人——尤其是那些在科技、工程、數學（STEM）領域中過去代表性不足的群體——將數學視為帶來變革的重要工具。
From classrooms to research centers, this day reminds us that mathematics is everywhere.
從課堂到研究中心，這一天提醒著我們，數學無處不在。
So, on your next Pi Day, enjoy a slice of pie while reflecting on the infinite ways mathematics improves our daily lives.
因此，在下一個圓周率日，享用一片派的同時，也別忘了思索數學改善我們日常生活的無限可能。
