3/3/09: Math fans to celebrate Square Root Day
« on: March 03, 2009, 07:42:01 AM »
 ;D

Dust off the slide rules and recharge the calculators. Square Root Day is upon us.

The math-buffs' holiday, which only occurs nine times each century, falls on Tuesday — 3/3/09 (for the mathematically challenged, three is the square root of nine).

I missed it in the news. I added square root day because I happened to see it in the news. :)
