The most compelling argument for me in using tau, (and I have started trying to think in tau when it comes up) is the radians argument: one quarter of a circle is tau/4, or pi / 8, you pick. I am certain my kids will have an easier time remembering tau/4, as I do myself. The other compelling thing for me came from remembering just how many integrals from 0 to 2pi I wrote over my freshman complex analysis class. A lot. Less notation is always nice; having tau represent the entire circle just makes a lot of sense! |

I am not particularly well versed in mathematics but isn't 1/4 of a circle pi/2 radians?
