Salted Maple Pie for Pi Day                 

National Pi Day is the perfect holiday for mathematicians and pie bakers alike. Irrational as it may sound, I ended up a journalism major in college after excelling in math in high school. In fact, when I needed another elective block to fill my Bachelor of Arts degree requirements, I took math. Who does that? When I reflect on my senior year in high school, I was one of only three girls in Mr. Hall’s calculus class. I don’t remember receiving any encouragement to do math or to major in a math or science related field. I chose journalism because I liked writing. Fast forward to today and it all worked out. At this point in my life, I would much rather be baking pie than solving for pi.
