comparing the pi and tau formulas, though, the advantage of using the pi formula is you can pose the question (to someone who has never seen it) as such:
Given the formula, e^(ix) = -1, what would you suppose x is?
If you tried to use the tau formula, it falls flat:
Given the formula, e^(ix) = 1, what would you suppose x is?
- zeroonetwothree 5y agoIt’s also just implied by squaring the pi formula even if that’s all you know so it’s somewhat less interesting in that respect.
- dnautics 5y agoi think you missed the point. In formula #2 there is a trivial solution 0.
