A Grounding in Numbers is the eleventh studio album by the British rock group Van der Graaf Generator. Released on 14 March 2011, the date, if written as 3,14, comprises the first three digits of the number π. The second track, "Mathematics" refers to Euler's identity, sometimes known as the mathematical poem. The album's release signals a continuation in the direction set by the current trio lineup, but it is released on a new label, Esoteric Recordings, a departure from previous releases on Virgin/Charisma. Hugh Padgham is the mixer of the album.
