International Day of Mathematics

The International Mathematics Day is an event proclaimed by UNESCO and supported by the International Mathematical Union, which takes place annually on 14 March. The day is also known as π-day, because: The decimal expansion of the circle number π begins with 3.1415…. — and especially in the American-speaking world, 14 March is written as “3/14”.

The theme for International Mathematics Day 2026 is “Mathematics and Hope”. It will be celebrated here on Friday, March 13 as part of the Open Day:
