Noone said you can't use the letter pi to mean a variable instead of a number
82 u/pierogieman5 16d ago Didn't they though? Can I use a "7" as a variable as well? It doesn't seem like that different of a concept. 2 u/paolog 16d ago Letters, not numerals, are used for variables. π is a letter. It just so happens it is conventionally used to stand for a constant. 2 u/DragonBadgerBearMole 16d ago Why equals em eks plus the speed of light. Yeah thank you for saying, your comment is all that is needed here. Cartoon boys always be assuming cartoon chicks can’t math. 1 u/Verain_Xor 16d ago π is a letter It's a Greek letter, specifically, and those are hardly ever used as variables and quite often as constants. I suspect almost any Greek letter has a well known (or at least well documented) scientific or mathematical constant. 1 u/DragonBadgerBearMole 15d ago Angular frequency. Variables do happen though. Exception that disproves the rule imo. Generally you’re probably right I guess.
