The Circle Constant Civil War

The Circle Constant Civil War
The ultimate mathematical hipster party! While π (3.14...) gets all the fame with its fancy March 14th holiday, τ (tau = 2π = 6.28...) is standing there with a party hat declaring itself the "true circle constant." Talk about a radical rebellion! The τ enthusiasts have a point though - using τ actually makes many formulas more elegant. The circle circumference becomes C = τr instead of C = 2πr, and those pesky 2π factors disappear from physics equations. Meanwhile, the π fans are clinging to their Euler's identity (e iπ + 1 = 0) like it's the last slice of mathematical pizza. It's the nerdiest civil war ever fought, and I'm here for it. Choose your constant wisely - your entire understanding of circular mathematics depends on it!
