Since 2010, ``TAU``'s acceptance and use has increased in academia, science, Can you tell us more about this area? A few references of research papers (preferably with an URL of doi.org) would be much appreciated. As I wrote in https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4897#note-39, I cannot distinguish if this constant being actively receiving low marks from academic community, or is just young. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17496: Add constant Math::TAU https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17496#change-89868 * 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:
