...tinge of intrigue, the taste of victory, the pain of defeat. For close to 75 members of the Math Club and their guests, Pi Day is an epic quest for mathematical, as well as digestive, domination. 3.14159 (etc...), revered for its infinite mystery and natural frequency, is the reason why Math Club revelers are celebrating “a bad approximation” of pi on a snowy Friday afternoon. Though typically celebrated on March 14 at 3:14 p.m., the Math Club decided to settle with the inaccuracy of celebrating on March 12th at 3:12 p.m. because March...

...example, a history concentrator who took calculus simply to try out a math course would not have to take a redundant Quantitative Reasoning Core. Other Core areas are woefully behind in this regard: a veteran of Government 10, “Introduction to Political Thought,” who concentrates in chemistry still has to fulfill the Moral Reasoning requirement. Seventeen courses outside the Core fulfill Science A, but only one fulfills Historical Study...
