Description
Here is the transcription of the comic text as accurately as possible:
Title: PROPOSED NUMBER IMPROVEMENTS
| CHANGE: | REASONING: | NEW SYMBOL: |
|---|---|---|
| CHANGE EVERY INSTANCE OF π TO 2π. | MAKES SEVERAL EQUATIONS PRETTIER. | τ |
| CHANGE EVERY INSTANCE OF e TO e/a. | GETS EXPONENTIAL EQUATIONS TO CHILL OUT A LITTLE. ALSO, MAKES EULER’S EQUATION LOOK WAY HARDER. | o (just the top part of an e) |
| CHANGE EVERY i TO JUST 0. | MANY EQUATIONS MORE ELEGANT BECAUSE A BIG CHUNK OF THEM IS NOW MISSING. | Ø (is zero rotated 180°) |
| CHANGE EVERY USE OF 1 TO 3.5 | JUST A MUCH BETTER NUMBER. | π (no longer in use) |
Note: The comic includes playful mathematical humor and suggestions for changing established mathematical symbols.
