The University of Maryland’s College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences hosted its annual Pi Day celebration in the James A. Yorke Rotunda of William E. Kirwan Hall.

The college gave out 440 slices of dessert pie in just 12 minutes! 

 

Plus, in honor of Michael and Eugenia Brin’s generous $25 million gift to the Brin Mathematics Research Center, Dining Services had a special pizza station in the dining halls.
