Someday the cover will read e^iτ = 1 and all will be right with the world.

  Some believe the pi version is superior due to the inclusion of three operators (+, *, exp), and five numbers (0, 1, i, e, pi) which are all fundamental in some sense. The tau version omits the + and the 0.

    e^iτ + 0 = 1 Fixed.

      e^iτ = 1 + 0 Fixed^2

        e^iτ = 1 + 0i Fixed for real this time-final.final.v2.docx

          You mean fixed for all real values of i?

      -1 not 1 ... e^iπ+1=0 from e^ix=sinx + icosx with x=π
      • gizmo686 7y ago
        Thats why we are using τ not π.

    As the author of The Tau Manifesto, I’m well aware of this (pseudo-)argument, which is dealt with explicitly here: https://tauday.com/tau-manifesto#eq-euler_tau_zero https://tauday.com/tau-manifesto#eq-euler_tau_zero
