Fun Pi Fact: If you draw a circle with the diameter of the observable universe, you can compute its circumference to within the width of 1 hydrogen atom using just 39 digits of pi. Meaning that when we compute more than 39 digits of pi, we're just being mathematically bougie.

I'm thinking that I might write a module to make ipython work a bit more like BASIC on old microcomputers. It would provide a sort of primitive way to interactively compose programs/modules from the function and class level. This could be a fun thing to try over Thanksgiving break.
