[Fredslist] Happy Tau Day!

[Raj Goel]

Fellow Mathematicians,

	Happy Tau day!

For non-Mathematicians:
	PI is 3.14159... -- it is the ratio of circumference to diameter 
	circle == 2 x pi x Radius

	Tau is 6.28 or roughly 2pi

	Rather than using an unweildy 
Circle == 2 pi R, you can also say 
Circle = Tau R

Easier calculations, no ghosts of multiply or divide by 2, or converting to
radians.

-----------

Thus ends today's Math lesson.

Pi nerds celebrate Mar 14 (3/14) with Pie eating parties.
Tau nerds celebrate June 28 6/28 with alcohol.

I'll let you determine who's more enlightened :-)
