Happy Square Root Day!

Today is 3/3/9 … 3 X 3 = 9 … √9 = 3

Square Root day and other mathematically oriented dates happen occasionally. There was 2/2/4 and there will be 4/4/16 coming up and more through the end of the century. There’s even a contest associated with the day run by a teacher in Redwood City with a prize of $339 to the winner.

Square Root day (and similar mathematically oriented dates like π (Pi) day - 3/14) are primarily of interested to mathematicians, but math is so important to Antenna Modeling, that we should remember on a day like this that knowing your mathematical tools is important for good modeling.
