make sure to read your tau manifesto today!

Yay

Wrong url... you must really care a lot about it.

I'm horrible at math, so I'll just stick with pi day, which I understand.

 

[Zubon]

It just makes so much sense to use tau instead of pi.

 

[uberCuber]

Nobody cares.

 

[Ranzha]

Why not use both? xP

the surface of an circle is pi r². it would be only more difficult if it would be 0.5tau r².

I don't particularly like the tau idea and argument, but you suck for saying that as if the whole section 3 of the manifesto didn't deal with exactly that. If you have an argument against their argument there, show it, but don't just repeat an argument that they've addressed already.

Because, If they did that they wouldn't have anything to argue about.

Happy Tau day 2012!

Well, standardising Tau would make sense. For wave motion in physics, you could use k = tau/lambda. But I think I prefer the conventional formulæ using pi; Mathematicians are great in obfuscating common sense after all.

Anyway, happy Tau Day.
