It won't amaze third graders, but it would make a lot more sense the first time you learn integral calculus

- Retric 14y agoMeh, so did 2 * pi * r > 2 * pi * (r ^ 2) / 2 = pi * r ^ 2. The great thing about math is it's it works out either way. So, it really comes down to which is easier to deal with and students seem to have an easier time remembering and understanding 2pir and pi*r^2, but in the end it's tau day so that's what people want to argue about.
- bascule 14y ago"students seem to have an easier time remembering and understanding 2 pi r and pi r^2" Are you speaking from empirical experience as a math teacher? What makes 2 pi r easier to understand than tau r?
- fryguy 14y agoAlso perhaps, make integral calculus make more sense?
