Spiked Math: MFT - Tau

Greg Bernhardt

It's Math Fact Tuesday, yay! If anyone celebrating "Pi Day" wants to spread Tau Propaganda, I've prepared a black & white summary sheet highlighting key tau facts with relevant sources for the curious. Make sure to print off a bunch of copies and distribute to your liking!!

• PDF: Two Summary Sheets per 8.5 x 11 sheet (print on landscape mode & cut in half).
• PDF: One Summary Sheet on a single page.
• PNG: Higher quality image file in case you needed it (you can also copy/paste into a word processing program and modify the contrast if the pdf files don't print properly).

Relevant Links:

• Joseph Lindenberg's "Tau before it was cool" - Awesome images and detailed descriptions that will convince any reader of the power of Tau
• Robert Palais' "Pi is wrong!" - The 2001 article in The Mathematical Intelligencer
• Michael Hartl's "The Tau Manifesto" - Detailed article on why Tau is the correct circle constant
• Wikipedia entry on tau (2pi)
• Peter Harremoës' page on "Al-Kashi's constant ?" with lots of links to articles and resources

And make sure you follow Joseph's advice and celebrate Tau Hour!
