HAPPY PI DAY

Today is March 14 - also known as 3/14 - also known as 3.14 - also known as pi.

We couldn't let this day go by without putting in a plug for all of these math and engineering books on the shelves here in the Bullis Collection.   Several generations of Bullises used these books in their professions, and it's interesting to speculate how they applied the knowledge they gleaned from these volumes.

You are invited to stop by anytime (it doesn't have to be pi day) and spend some time with these volumes.  (And for those of you with a special interest in pi, you might even find out how far pi was carried out in the days before calculators and computers.)
