Re: The Math Thread
Vortex, what college? And Theta, what are you looking at for colleges?
I am now a junior in college. Also, as it turns out I will graduate as a Computer Engineering major with both Computer Science and Math minors.

Nice :3
and to Theta... make sure it is a good college! Even though that still won't be a guarantee of landing a job... look at me, it took me a while to actually get one because of bad luck and timing D:

I just finished my application to UGA and I'm working on my application to Emory now. Emory is my first choice.Death Road wrote:Vortex, what college? And Theta, what are you looking at for colleges?

Re: The Math Thread
Well yeah, but all sinusoids can be decomposed into complex exponentials, so essentially pi is almost always associated with imaginary numbers.Also, pi in general doesn't occur very often in logarithms or exponentials at all unless you're applying them to complex numbers, so you're kind of just giving an overall topic and then stating all of the things it includes.
Also, are you guys debating tau vs pi? Is nowhere safe from the monstrosities of that debate? D:

Re: The Math Thread
Ah, well I see then!
I personally am not a fan of tau, merely because it's a larger number, and thus it would make things like radians and exponential Fourrier series a lot more inconvenient to write out, due to the increased numbers of fractions.
That, and if there were to be some big change in the notation of mathematics that would involve changing everything I have learned to this point, I would rather it be a push towards a hexidecimal number system, since it's a lot more convenient to work in compared to decimal.

Re: The Math Thread
So, what exactly do you debate in tau vs pi?
And also, HEY! I recognize dVan's equation.

Re: The Math Thread
tau = 2*pi, which makes one full turn one tau, not two pi and so on. Is this logical or just frivolous, ridiculous and silly?Death Road wrote:So, what exactly do you debate in tau vs pi?
