    Here's one for rationalist Judaism: the Femara discusses the line/circumference ratio in .עירובין דף יד. That's the 3rd tractate on page 14. 3.14!

      The Gemara was paginated by printers, hundreds of years after it was closed by the Sevara'im.

    "Leiluy Nishmas Stephen Hawking. His yorzeit is Pi Day.

    Admiring exemplars of the indomitability of the human spirit is one thing. But before adding him to your honorary el-moleh list, you might remember he was a supporter of BDS and a few years ago refused to attend a physics conference in israel because it honored Peres's 90th birthday.

    tractate Avot, chapter 3, last paragraph:

    The study of Mathematics [Chachmat
    HaCheshbone    ] sharpens [the mind of] a man.
