Mobilize 'subversion' of pi

When it comes to calculating with circles, one associates the numbers pi. Every year there are two days to honor it is 14.3 or 22.7 because the value of pi is 3.14159 ... or 22: 7.

However, many mathematicians think that the number of views as constants for reference when computed from the perimeter to the area of the circle is wrong and needs to be replaced by another value called ' tau '.

Mathematicians launched a campaign in which textbooks were rewritten to use tau, which had a value of about 6.28, which is double the number of existing pi. Even many enthusiastic claimers also have a day dedicated to honoring the tau value of 28.6 per year.

Professor Kevin Houston at Leeds University says that for years scientists have realized that pi is not the natural number when we link to a circle. The more appropriate amount is 2pi, or tau . Actually tau has been applied calculations in scientific and technical equations. He emphasized that today's mathematicians do not measure angular momentum in degrees that are normally measured by radians and have 2pi radians in a circle. So when one quarter of a circle is required, one must use half a pi or one fourth of 2pi radians.

According to the Daily Mail , Dr. Houston has created a video and posted it on YouTube to prove that tau is optimal in many cases of scientific research.

Back in history, it is known that pi is derived from the Greek ' perimeter ', meaning circle and mathematician William Jones separated the first letter of the word to name pi in 1706. Furthermore, ancient Egyptians and Babylonians also knew the approximate value of pi, while another version also appeared in the Bible.
