Paul Gross, MI G ’83, recently published a weather forecast for Metro Detroit. Gross is meteorologist and executive producer of weather for @Local4News WDIV-TV Detroit (MI). He included the following paragraph in his article:
“Wednesday is ‘Pi Day’ across the country (or ‘Tau Beta Pi Day’ for those of us who are members of the National Engineering Honor Society). You see, the date is 3/14, and the number, Pi, is an endless number that starts with 3.14. In fact, if you want to get really crazy about this, you can celebrate at 1:59 p.m., because it will be 3/14, 1:59…and the first five numbers in Pi are 3.14159. By the way, if you’re wondering how a meteorologist was inducted into the National Engineering Honor Society, at U of M the meteorology program is in the College of Engineering, and my grades were good enough to be selected!
