Pi Day Marathon 2026

We would like to invite you to join us for a fun Pi Day (3.14) celebration. Starting Friday, March 13th and going to March 14th, UM Professor Cory Palmer, graduate students Alec Goldman,  Hanna Antonsen, Molly Sager, Michael Bruner, Nannah Myers, Daniel Ryan, and others will deliver a 24-hour nonstop lecture. The lecture will take place in the Math Building, Room 103, at the University of Montana. We begin on Friday 9:00 AM and finish (hopefully!) Saturday at 9:00 AM. It will also be broadcast live at https://www.twitch.tv/mathdaymarathon

Drop in at any point (virtually or otherwise) during the 24-hour lecture and stay for as long or as short as you please. This event is open to everyone and requires no prior experience—come as a beginner and leave as an expert. 😎
