And now for something completely different.Alright, many of you know that today is Pi Day, the day we celebrate Charlie Pai's last name. Not really. Just the mathematical constant of pi.
But some crazy mathematicians have decided to introduce a new idea: tau. Tau is simply just 2*pi.
Why would we do this, you ask? Because tau would make radians easier to understand, and because it also makes many physical equations nicer. You can also read the article linked in the title for a more technical explanation.
Of course, this removes the reason for pie eating on Pi Day and my very significant last name. It also forces a huge change in mathematical equations, which might be a daunting task. But making mathematics more comprehensible is also quite attractive. Should we replace pi with tau?
