A clever PR effort.

(Boston Globe) Even as we speak, hundreds of apple pies are being readied for delivery to math and science teachers at public middle and high schools located within a 3.14-mile radius of Raytheon Co. headquarters in Waltham.

That's because today is Pi Day, as in March 14 (3/14), and Pi, the mathematical constant, is equal roughly to 3.14, notes a Raytheon press release. A big extracurricular activity for defense contractor Raytheon is encouraging young students to pursue math and science careers. To that end, Raytheon sponsors a program called MathMovesU.
