The first comment is about the constant Tau.
I never heard of Tau so I had to look it up and came across this: "pi is a confusing and unnatural choice for the circle constant."
So now I am confused.
If a cicle has a diameter of 1 the circumference is pi.
Can someone explain in what context pi might be confusing?
Because the sinus/radians always relates to the radius instead of the diameter?
- terlisimo 7y agoThe main arguments are that a circle is defined by its radius, not its diameter, and that in most cases when you reference Pi in mathematics/engineering you actually use 2Pi.
