when i was doing graduate mathematics, i felt that there were just as many formulas that would be hurt by a change to tau as there were those helped by it. proponents of tau seem to cherry pick and don’t showcase everywhere that you’ll pick up tau/2, which is objectively more awkward than occurences of pi and 2*pi. switching to tau isn’t a change that is a global simplification. |
