The discussion centers on comparing the values of $e^{\pi}$ and $\pi^{e}$. A method suggested involves raising both expressions to the power of $1/(e\pi)$ to analyze their growth rates. This approach relates to finding the maximum of the function $x^{1/x}$. The conversation highlights the mathematical exploration of inequalities in calculus. Ultimately, the comparison seeks to determine which of the two expressions is greater.

Which is greater, $e^{\pi}$ or $\pi^{e}$?

I found this when searching for calculus inequalities.

A variation of the same method is to raise both numbers to power $1/(e\pi)$ and find the maximum of $x^{1/x}$.
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
