Tau--The Better Constant, Chess.com Mathematics League

τ is way, way better than π!

DM me the word frog for a surprise (remember to encrypt though!).

(If you hate math, just scroll past this. There is more stuff below this that is non-math.)

Tau (τ) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 6.283. It is defined as the circumference of a circle divided by its radius, and is far more intuitive than π. Tau naturally appears from the angle measure system called radians, in which the angle theta (Θ) is defined as the length of the arc (a) divided by radius (r). When you take the angle measure of a full circle, you divide circumference by radius, yielding tau. This means that the "Special Angles" like π/2 (a quarter of a circle) or 3π/2 (three quarters of a circle) no longer require memorization, because all you have to do to get the radian measure of the arc of a circle is take the fraction of the circle that the arc traces out, and multiply it by τ (e.g. 1/4 circle is τ/4, two thirds circle is 2τ/3), and this makes radians much much simpler. Tau is a better number because it relates a circle's circumference directly to its radius, and since a circle is defined by its radius, tau is the more natural constant. This makes τ far better for teaching students than π. Not only that, but 2π (Which equals τ) occurs far more often than π alone. Even when π occurs by itself in a formula or equation, it is the result of the simplification of τ/2 to π. A prime example of this is in the formula for the area of a circle. To derive the formula, you have to integrate circumference with respect to radius, which yields τr^2/2, only then can you simplify this formula into its more common form: πr^2. 2π occurs all over physics and mathematics; it is the period of a sine wave, the upper limit of theta integration over all space in polar coordinates, and it is the denominator of a fraction commonly denoted as h-bar, which is Plank's constant divided by... 2π! Using tau instead of pi would simplify many mathematical formulas. I cannot summarize all of the wonderful features of tau in this short paragraph, and my humble words fail to express the amazing superiority of τ when compared to π.

This is the column that started it all, a short article by Bob Palais where he explains why tau (Which he represents as a three-legged pi symbol in his essay) is the true circle constant:

I KNOW 8 THINGS ABOUT YOU:

1. You are reading this
2. You are human
3. You can't say the letter "p" without separating your lips
4. You just attempted to do it
6. You are laughing at yourself
7. You have a smile on your face, and you skipped number 5.
8. You just checked to see if there was a number 5.
9. You laugh at this because you fell for it and everyone else did too
Now copy and paste this to see who else falls for it too 🙂

I quoted this from @AGC-Gambit_YT (Who quoted it from @Dapper_King)

See that mystical and beautiful forest? It's full of trash. Do you see those beautiful Sumatran Tigers? (Sumatran tiger is my favourite tiger, but they are the rarest tigers) There are only fewer than 600 left... Do you know IMPERIAL AMAZON parrot? Search them, there are only about 50 Imperial Amazon Parrots left. Put this on your profile, if you care about nature. I bet 99% you won't post it. Also, put #ICareOfNature to your status.
