It is much more natural to work with 2π. Some people use the letter τ (Tau) to denote 2π, and it simplifies almost all naturally occurring expressions. For example, what is more elegant?
e^(π*i) = -1
e^(τ*i) = 1
- JdeBP 3y agoLots of focus on the Greek letters, at the expense of an important Latin one, there. (-:
- bobbylarrybobby 3y agoe^pi + 1 = 0, of course
- tgv 3y agoτ = 0, got it.
- floatrock 3y ago> t simplifies almost all naturally occurring expressions basically the point of the Tau Manifesto: https://tauday.com/tau-manifesto https://tauday.com/tau-manifesto And would ya look at the date today... 6/28...
- hughes 3y agoCoincidentally, happy Tau Day! (6.28)
- mgunyho 3y agoNot a coincidence :)
