[ Which one do you prefer working with ] Pi or e (1 Viewer)

[Trebla]

It contains both e and pi so everyone's happy

*cringes at the cis*

High school folk do that.

I think its cause they don't learn Euler's formula in the HSC.

 

[Dragonmaster262]

I don't even know how to put e in my calculator.

I don't even know how to put e in my calculator.

Try e¹

 

[jessiminica]

Can't I have my pi and e it too?

That made me lol very hard

Personally, I prefer pi. Its far more elegant, and the numbers have a much nicer rhythm.

tbh writing e^i@ is pretty annoying on paper, especially when you're doing sqrts and what not.

pi, i can show of my memory when i'm bored without explaining what i'm reciting

[maths]u(x,y)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty }\frac{4}{\pi (2k+1)}e^{\frac{-\pi (2k+1)}{h}x}sin\frac{\pi (2k+1)}{h}y[/maths]

Last night I solved for the solution above to the partial differential equation:

[maths]\frac{\partial^2u }{\partial x^2}+\frac{\partial^2u }{\partial y^2}=0[/maths]

for
x > 0
0 < y < h
modelling the steady state two dimensional heat distribution in a slab with boundary conditions:

u = 0 when y = 0, all x > 0
u = 0 when y = h, all x > 0
u approaches 0 when x = 1, for 0 < y < h
u = 1 when x = 0, for 0 < y < h

So either way I must work with π and e.
