Two Pi and Not To Pi?

By Tangotiger, 10:52 AM

There seems to be some movement somewhere that the better term to use is not Pi but 2Pi (henceforth called Tau).  I agree that I’ve always been bothered by the use of 2Pi in various functions, but, this is definitely a “ship has sailed” scenario, no?  Anyway, how many digits of Pi have you ever memorized?  This is 100 digits after the decimal:

3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679
