    Function Radians
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a series of incorrect radian equations presented as equalities, with the first few being identified as false statements. Participants express confusion over the meaning and validity of these equations, particularly focusing on the incorrect assertion that 0 equals 2π/3. The conversation highlights a misunderstanding of mathematical notation and the difference between equalities and conversions. Ultimately, the thread concludes with a reminder that only the last two equations are correct, leading to the thread's closure. The emphasis is on the need for clarity and accuracy in mathematical expressions.

$$0 = 2π/3$$.

$$π/6 =3π/4$$

$$π/4 = 5π/6$$

$$π/3 = π$$

$$π/2 = 3π/2$$

$$2π = 2π$$

$$π/2 + 3π/2 = 4π/2$$

I find this a little confusing but quite wonderful. But, what is it?

You tell us. Apart from the last two equations, what you wrote are false statements.

May be wonderful, but almost all are simply wrong ! (exceptions: the last two are correct)

Under the assumption that ##2/3 \pi## is meant to be ##\dfrac{2}{3}\pi## ,
it is an unconventional way to write zero by the letter ##\pi##.
 
oh dear. still figuring out Latax...
 
I understand that you were experimenting with LaTeX, but what was this?
 
I think it's fixed. Can someone explain?

Explain what?

For the last time, you need to explain what you mean or this thread will be closed.

It's just it seems to indicate 1=1/3 and 1=3. That's all...

But take you first equality:
paulo84 said:
$$0 = 2π/3$$.
which is not true. Where does this come from?

I didn't see those "equalities" on that page. You might be confusing the fact that ##f(x) = f(y)## with ##x=y##, but this of course not true. Consider
$$
f(x) = x^2
$$
or, even "worse,"
$$
f(x) = \text{const.}
$$

I misunderstood the table.

Yes, yes you did. Did you get that sleep which you said you would get? Please take some rest and return to the forum.

Too much time on Google Analytics.

As noted, all but the last two equations are untrue.
Thread closed.
