it was the jack in the box tune. you guys can figure that out how the lyrics were.

[Lectorog]

Quick, someone break out the correct Taylor series (I think it was)! We're going infinite here.

I'm in Calculus III and I don't get the Taylor series.

Math is a rocky plain.

[frostshotgg]

Please Putnam where would I find a teacher like that?

I wish I could enjoy math like some people do... :/

Stop looking at math like something you need a teacher for. Actually look at the numbers and the dance. It's not a chore, it's choreography. X wants her solo, get her alone. Pi wants the D.

If you want a better idea of what I mean, watch some of Vihart's videos. Even if you don't think it'll be interesting, watch the one I linked.

Pi wants the D.

In my experience, Pi prefers the e.

[Lectorog]

I have never seen pi and e used together.

I'm confused o_O You don't understand it or it isn't part of your curriculum?

Also, here: e^π

I wonder if you can use the taylor series to calculate the approximate value of pi to exceedingly precise numbers using GPGPUs and their parallelsm.

[Putnam]

I have never seen pi and e used together.

e^(iπ)=-1

there

[Lectorog]

I can only hope these magnificent applications come up in calculus-based physics.

I'm confused o_O You don't understand it or it isn't part of your curriculum?

I don't understand it because actually teaching it isn't part of the curriculum. Before this semester I wasn't taught what anything meant, just how to use it in a formula.

Whoa.

Okay now I really want to start Calculus.

[Lectorog]

Trust me, you won't learn that starting calculus. The good stuff doesn't start until late part 2.

[Putnam]

Oh, just remembered something I discovered while playing around on a calculator!

ln(-x) = ln(x) + iπ

Isn't that cool?

(just so you know, that's another example of e going with π, hehe)

I used to love entering random expressions on my graphing calculator and seeing what would turn up. Especially since it could do 3D graphs

[Lectorog]

Pi is displaying very poorly for me.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

SO UGLY.

There are graphing calculators that do this? That is amazing.

[Putnam]

Yeah, π in this font is horrible. Let's find a better one!

Times new roman it is!

I'm more fond of the arial and georgia, personally.

• Happy π Day!
• Happy π Day!

Indecision. Good thing pi day is already over for me!
I did not, however, increase the radius of my gut semicircle through consumption of round foods, as is tradition. Another year wasted. But pi was not forgotten.
