Issue #17496 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans). Status changed from Rejected to Open Personally, I don't think that anything significant has changed in the last three years this area. And the comparison of Tau vs Pi to Relativity vs Newtonian Mechanics is laughable. However, I also don't want to be the one to stop debate on this issue, so I'm reopening it. However, I recommend to Matz that he rejects it again. I think a good time to add `Math::TAU` is when the majority of mathematics textbooks switch from Pi to Tau, and not before. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17496: Add constant Math::TAU https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17496#change-89706 * Author: jzakiya (Jabari Zakiya) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- Excuse me if this has been brought up before. This is a simple proposal to add the math constant ``Math::TAU`` = 2*``Math::PI``. See: https://tauday.com/ ``TAU`` has been included in a growing number of languages (Rust, Python3, Julia, et al), and this would add Ruby to that list, and make it even cooler. :-) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request@ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
