Pi = circumference/diameter(d) = circumference/(2 x radius)
hence circumference = 2 x Pi x radius(r)
This video argues that Tau is more apt where
Tau = circumference/radius(r)
so circumference = tau x radius(r)
leading to simplifications elsewhere in maths and leaving Euler’s i
Identity as astonishing as ever.
thanks, Mark, that’s really interesting!
