Meme of two women fighting while a man smokes from a pipe in the background.
The women fighting are labeled “mathematicians defining pi” and “engineers just using 3 because it’s within tolerance”
The man smoking is labeled “astrophysicists” and the pipe is labeled “pi = 1”
Electrical engineer. Never used 3. Always 3.14. don’t really get the joke.
I just use the pi from my calculator or numpy/matlab. But I’m often too lazy for vacuum speed of light and use 3e8 m/s.
Electrician over here is killing the buzz
Electrical engineer. I’m nowhere near as useful as an electrician.
I’ve seen some blueprints who use 3.5. I guess it’s close enough but definitely not too small
Strange. If you’re going to use a decimal point, why not the right one?
You are correct, I used the wrong one for my region but according to Swedish Wikipedia (bad source) the US and UK uses a . If that is incorrect I’m happy to be corrected!
