I have oddly gotten really into Pi that I started memorizing digits of Pi. I want to see if there is any other Pi geeks out there. I know over 90 digits of Pi

Hey, don't doubt this guy. He could be another Einstein. (Yeah, the likelihood of that is not probable, but still.)

Meh, pi is so outdated.

Everyone uses Tau now. Get with the times.

It's not that difficult to memorize it in chunks.

Show me what you got.

Meh. I only memorized the first 15. One more than a standard calculator has. Beyond that, there's no practical use.

Going past what the standard calculator has doesn't change much, even using 3.14 doesn't change much.

I know 3.14159

Tau is better. It makes so much more sense.


Gah..more of a rip-off of phi than anything else =p

But e^(i*pi) looks some much more elegant than e^(i*tau/2)...

I don't think pi or tau is going to win here by just naming equations. To be fair they are about even on the scale of equations.

However, Tau is just that little bit easier to learn. It just gets rid of how students get confused when pi is half way around a circle and 2pi is all the way around.

Even then, I'm sure you can just use both if the need be.

Tau > pi


phi > Tau > pi > guessing

1.61 is not greater than 6.28...

:P


Oh you were going by numbers? I thought we were doing which was the better haha

Phi is cool too, though.


It's phi-tastic..even phi-bulous.

No it's not. Pi is pronounced Pie (Pie, a dish baked in pastry-lined pan often with a pastry top... Oh noes!! This is math, not English), while Phi is pronounced Fy. Pi sounds better, and tastes better, as the case may be.

...what? I'm sorry..are you trying to say pi is better because it sounds like pie?

Did you not see the puns I made?!

I know as much about pie as it takes for me to smell one, see one, then determine whether I should eat that thing. Sod math btw.
