Or, learn some Pi Day carols:

Ludolph the Mathematician (to the tune of "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer")
We know Einstein and Euclid and Sir Isaac Newton
Lifelong devotions there ain’t no disputin’
But do you recall…
The most tireless one of them all?

Ludolph the Mathematician
Had a special thing for Pi
He made it his life’s mission
To help the number specify

All of his fellow teachers
Never understood his plan
To unlock the number’s magic
By calculating it by hand!

Then in 1599,
Ludolph set his goal...
I’ll find digit 35
With geometry as my guide!

Then how the math world loved him
All his hard work helped them see

Ludolph the Mathematician
You’ll go down in history!

Oh, Number Pi (to the tune of "Oh, Christmas Tree"
1. Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi
You're truly transcendental.
Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi
You're physical and mental.
You stretch the bounds...of all we know,
And tell our circles where to go
Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi
Your digits are so gentle.

2. Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi
Why can't I learn you faster?
Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi
You're really hard to master.
Just when I think...I've got you down
I flip a 6 and 5 around
Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi
Numerical disaster!

3. Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi
Why are you so specific?
Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi
Your digit growth's terrific.
Ten years ago, you had a Mill
And now you're at a couple Trill
Oh, number Pi, Oh, number Pi
You stretch to the Pacific!

Now go get wasted and celebrate.
