Well, as you can see by the count-down on the right side of this blog, e day has arrived! I mentioned it in most of my classes today, even though it’s not as well-celebrated as π. I think we should change that. It’s my opinion that e is at least as good, if not a more important constant, than π.
I’m biased though. Today is also my daughter’s first birthday. I love that she was born on e day! Awesome! 🙂
Happy Birthday, Ruthie Chase!

OK, here’s why. The sidebars are there when you go to mrchasemath.wordpress.com but they don’t show up when you look at a single blog entry, and that’s what Google Reader does: it delivers the blog *entry* not the *blog*. Mystery solved.
