Math nerds everywhere, rejoice: It's Pi Day, so called because the date can be written as 3/14. Students, teachers and number lovers will spend Monday celebrating the first three digits of pi, a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of circumference to diameter. In truth, pi has more than 1 trillion digits.

Pi Day was officially recognized by the United States House of Representatives in 2009 to help the country "reinforce mathematics and science education for all students in order to better prepare our children for the future and in order to compete in a 21st Century economy." Plus, it's just funny.

You can spend the day eating actual dessert pie or completing math homework. No matter what you do, though, don't forget the word problems — aka jokes. Here are a few of our favorites, collected from Thought Catalog, mathjokes4mathyfolks, BuzzFeed and mytowntutors:
