Chuckle. I was just reading a plea from a math type that we need a new
symbol because pi is wrong, everyplace it is used except for circumference,
it has to be used as 2pi, so there is a move afoot to define a new 'tau' as
being equal to 2pi, suggesting its symbol to be a 3 legged pi symbol. Sure
gets rid of all those 2pi's in the math. I doubt it will catch on though.
Cheers, Gene
