  Ugh, 3 factorial is most definitely not equal to π. It’s something more like, idk, 9? Honestly I don’t even know how I got here; I majored in Latin and barely past

    Barely passed your English classes as well I assume. /s

        Math is a liquid. Or a language.

        My high school English teacher still has night terrors about me starting sentences with conjunctions. And that was the least of their problems.

      In case anyone wondering factorial is

      n! = n * n-1 * n-2 * … * 3 * 2 * 1

        Erm. In what world do you live that the precedent in your expression is right?

        In all languages and countries I know multiplication binds more strongly than addition. So what you wrote would be

        n^2 - n - 2n - 3n…

    Well…

    g^1/2^ = e = 3

    • My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      e = π = σ = ε = µ = Avogadro’s Number = k = g = G = α = i = j = 3

      (at least that’s how they all look when viewed from ∞)

        I was not ready for this truth bomb

        Shouldn’t have i in there, or j if you’re using that to represent the imaginary number.

        The complex plane is separate.

        Let epsilon be substantially greater than zero…

      3 = 10^(1/2)

    π = 1
    3! = 10

      Seriously, if you’re working with analog electronics, 𝛑=√1̅0̅ is close enough. If you need more precision, use active error correction, and in the 21st century that’s easiest to do digitally anyway.

      Isn’t 3 factorial equal to 6??
