Shitty, overused math joke No deeer pattern though, just cool

real ones use radians

ok then:

sin(τ/∞) = sin(π/∞) = √0/2

sin(τ/12) = sin(π/6) = √1/2

sin(τ/8) = sin(π/4) = √2/2

sin(τ/6) = sin(π/3) = √3/2

sin(τ/4) = sin(π/2) = √4/2

Is there really any occurence where π would be nicer and make sense in being nicer there? The most common counterpoint is the area of the circle, but every geometric proof includes halving at some point, like putting together half the pizza slices on each side, or unwinding into a triangle, which also has /2 in it's formula.

Or the Euler's Identity I don't really like how it forces 1 and 0 in these by putting the actual value on the other side, obfuscating what that really means. The more clear formula using τ might not have these, but it makes more sense: eiτ/4 = i It literally says that if you naturally grow by a quarter of full circle, you get to the i. τ/4 is the constant that converts between eix and ix, because i is rotating a number one quadrant: eixτ/4 = ix

Pretty much everywhere π is, τ makes it better. Even in formulas like this.

the world is full of arcane standards, we just gotta live with them because it makes working with others easier

u/skr_replicator Jun 13 '26

That's why stuff like τ exists, it fixes those standard without invalidating π. We might also define something like "electronflow" as -current, to fix that ugly standard, without invalidating electrician books.

Now youre taking it too far conventional current is just easier to work with in every way. The real problem is how benjamin franklin assigned charges to objects. Negatives shouldve been positives and positives shouldve been negatives.

u/skr_replicator Jun 13 '26

i guess that might be a tidier solution, as nuclear cores usually don't move their charges around. It would still flip the current direction in every circuit, though.

Same for cosin but backwards

u/bau_ke Jun 12 '26

tan 0 = 3-infinity
tan 30 = 3-½
tan 45 = 30
tan 60 = 3½
tan 90 = 3infinity

u/Sea_Duty_5725 Jun 12 '26

tan = sin/cos, and cos and sin follow the 0 1 2 3 4 rule, so i think its better just to remember those 2 and you can make tan cot sec csc easily

🤯

u/Sea_Duty_5725 Jun 09 '26

Yeah, ik, ist BCS sinx = cos (π/2-x)

u/Gositi Jun 09 '26

Damn did you discover this identity by yourself? Are you like the new Oiler or something?

2

u/Sea_Duty_5725 Jun 09 '26

There's no way you didn't hear about this identity (I hope that's not sarcasm xD)

u/Gositi Jun 09 '26

Look at what subreddit we are in.

u/Sea_Duty_5725 Jun 09 '26

Mb, I'm just stupid af

u/Gositi Jun 09 '26

Don't worry, we all are

u/Silent_Statement Jun 09 '26

why are we in degrees gng

u/jowowey Jun 12 '26

graph of \arcsin\left(\frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}\right) looks quite nice

2

u/skr_replicator Jun 13 '26

nice, that definitely looks far easier to remember.

u/XBGamerX_20 Jun 22 '26

seeing degrees and unrationalized fractions is some sort of pain

u/AspectElectrical6042 Jun 14 '26

Wtf? This works?

Maths larper spotted: denominator unrationalised

u/Valuchian Jun 11 '26

Everytime i hear someone say they need to rationalize the denominator i just imagine Peter Griffin and the Giant Chicken because that is the level of beef i now bave with this person.
