OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — March 14 — or 3.14 — is also known as Pi Day, in honor of the mathematical constant.
The Gene Leahy Mall hosted a celebration with the Nebraska Scifest team, which organized learning opportunities related to pi. Pi Day was founded in 1988 by physicist Larry Shaw because the numerical date represents the first three digits of pi.
