I would actually be perfectly happy if Tau was used instead of Pi.
I have no idea whats going on.
I actually really like Viharts math videos
And I like pie
Facepunch + Maths = Just about as incompatible as Crysis and Windows 95.
In fact, I just looked at the pies. They were nice pies.
All that I understood of this video were the pies, those were some nice pies.
I'm ok with this.
Drawing that sine graph.. so quick, so elegant.
Happy Pi day!
This would've made trig so much easier...
The only thing I understood was that some bitch was in the kitchen making pies.
I really like her videos, but my favourite is the Möbius strip one.
I don't really like pi, but I love trig.
Relations between numbers make me feel hungry...
Time for some torque. Because I can't eat pi now :frown:
Her knowledge of math is strangely erotic.
I would like to put my penis in her

[i]"Hm, it seems that your cock has the latitude and radius of pi squared cosE..."[/i]
e^(it) EQUALS 1 WHAT NOW BITCHES
winning!
DAMN IT.
Whenever people talk about Pi they relate it to pie and always make me hungry for pie.
AND I DON'T EVEN EAT PIE THAT OFTEN. :argh:

Also Bi-Winning is what you meant.

Don't you mean Pie-Winning?
I've never had a problem with the whole 2*pi radians to the unit circle, but defining a new constant like tau or just redefining pi as 2*pi makes a LOT of sense. I always thought it was strange that pi related diameter to circumfrence, when we always use radius anyway.
Really wouldn't simplify much. As long as pi is still around I think it would take more effort to change it than it would save in effort.

Not to mention the fact that since torque (represented by tau) shows up often when dealing with circular motion things would get REAL CONFUSING, REAL FAST
I've been fine with pi but I guess this makes sense.
It seems like it's easier for simple trig like this, but as soon as you get into physics equations with acceleration and force relating to a circle, pi is so much easier.
She actually makes a pretty good point, except the applications of pi are so extensive that there would end up being a lot of places that you'd find tau/2 instead of just pi (such as the disk/washer method of finding the volume of a graphical cylinder).
I've got pi here and pi there, I'm Pi WINNING.

Then use pi.
This isn't about replacing pi, this is about using tau in the proper place.

Speak for yourself.
1 tau = 1 rotation in radians. Seems like it would simplify some things.
Circumference of a circle:

Area of a circle:

What odd resemblance to the antiderivative and second antiderivative of a constant!

The plot thickens!
I hate math but solving a math problem is the best feeling in the world.
