As per tradition, the math department yet again celebrated this magical day by hosting a Pie Eating contest between the graduate students, undergraduate students and the faculty. Here is how it works:Three teams (graduate,undergraduate and faculty) of three participate, and the contest lasts for 1 minute. Whichever individual eats the most Pie in 1 minute takes the title of Pie Day Champion and gets their name etched on the Pie Day Plaque. Whichever team totals the most pie in that minute wins the Pie Day Trophy.

This year faculty member  Dr. James Adler successfully defended his title, eating 342 grams of delicious Apple pie.

In a surprising upset, the undergraduate team grabbed the team title with 786 grams total, breaking the winning streak of the faculty team, who came in second. 

All the pies this year (including the non-contest, audience pies) were generously sponsored by Pearson, and we thank them very much for it! You can watch the video of the event here. We extend our congratulations to Dr. James Adler for becoming the Pi Day 2019 King.
