Lol yeah :P

If I were to choose a letter for a new constant I discovered I'd choose the cyrillic multiocular o: ꙮ It's awesome and impossible to write at the same time XD or maybe some 100-stroked chinese character? I'd love trolling the scientific community :twisted:

2pi doesn't appear more than just pi, in pure mathematics. That's kinda only a physics thing.

Exhibit A: my signature.

Take your Math out of Off-Topic and into the Science thread, mah brainnnzzzz >.< XD

Have fun! That should be awesome!

Then you haven't seen enough mathematics yet :P it appears a lot in the context of complex numbers, exponentials, logarithms, trigonometry, hiperbolas, spheres, fourier transforms, distributions, hermitian operators, extensions of complex numbers... I'd guess it's something like 95% 2*pi vs. 5% another constant*pi

Nice! The plan of invading the forum with the power of Science is giving good results so far :ugeek:
