Pi vs. Tau
I have always wondered, “Is there a
simpler number than Pi?” So far, the answer is that there is one, and it is called
Tau. They are both Greek letters, too. Tau, or just simply known as τ would be
equal to 2π which would be 6.28318530718... since π = 3.14159265359... Here are
some comparisons between the two.
Pi |Tau
π*2R=C | τ*R=C
Established after τ | Established before π
More commonly thought of and used more | Less commonly thought of and used less
So τ wins by one point against π and that means τ or Tau
should be used more than π or Pi according to my thoughts.
