6. Pi Day is July 22nd here (The US is the only major place it is March 14) because Pi expressed as an

approximate fraction is 22/7. As an irrational number, Pi cannot be expressed as a common fraction.

The US writes dates differently than most other nations.

Today is written 14/3 here in Sweden, so July 22nd is 22/7 aka the approximate fractional expression of Pi.

13. The Man Who Invented Pi

(From Wiki: William Jones (mathematician) William Jones, FRS (1675 – 3 July 1749) was a Welsh mathematician, most noted for his use of the symbol π (the Greek letter Pi) to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. He was a close friend of Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Edmund Halley.)

It is widely believed that the great Swiss-born mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-83) introduced the symbol π into common use. In fact it was first used in print in its modern sense in 1706 a year before Euler's birth by a self-taught mathematics teacher William Jones (1675-1749) in his second book Synopsis Palmariorum Matheseos, or A New Introduction to the Mathematics based on his teaching notes.
