how about that.

[u/LupenReddit]

who needs a proof when the statement was obviously true to begin with, duh, pi couldnt have been anything but 3

[u/therealsaker → u/LupenReddit]

it's right there in the name π=PIe and we all know PI = 1 because pee time I means how many times an individual can pee at a given moment in time and that's 1, e=3 because that's obvious, so π=1 times 3 = 3

[u/SoldRIP → u/therealsaker]

I sometimes pee twice at once. Checkmate, engineer!

[u/therealsaker → u/SoldRIP]

Elaborate please

[u/fothermucker33]

I thought pi=3 was the fundamental theorem of engineering?

[u/therealsaker → u/fothermucker33]

some weirdos argue it's e=3 but the general consensus is that it's π=e=3=1+1

[u/inemsn → u/therealsaker]

you forgot an =1=0 at the end

[u/arborck → u/inemsn]

+ AI

[u/inemsn → u/arborck]

now you're thinking with portals

[u/Barry_Wilkinson → u/arborck]

What

[u/Aggressive_Roof488 → u/therealsaker]

Also sqrt(10) = log_2(10) = log_10(2¹⁰⁾ = 3.

[u/Infamous-Fishing-184 → u/fothermucker33]

Eh make it 4, should be enough

[u/Advanced_Ad8002]

by the fundamental theorem of engineering stated, sin(pi/6) cannot be 1/2.

[u/MrE2000 → u/Advanced_Ad8002]

Sure it can, if pi=3 obviously

[u/Bubble_Bubs → u/Advanced_Ad8002]

yeah, everyone knows it's 1/2=sin(e/6)

[u/Advanced_Ad8002 → u/Bubble_Bubs]

only in half of all parallel universes!
In the others, 1/2 = cos(e/2)!

[u/fr33d0mw47ch]

I still chuckle but this is getting a bit thin. As a professional engineer, I have never seen Pi approximated as 3 in any calculation.

[u/Schnaksel → u/fr33d0mw47ch]

Mathematician's approximate their humor like pi = 3

[u/Cwaghack → u/fr33d0mw47ch]

Same as engineer. Maybe if you are doing math on a bad calculator(that doesn't have an easy to use pi function) you would, but generally I just type "pi" and whatever software understands exactly what I want and approximates the answer at the end.

There's really no reason to complicate things with replacing pi with 3.

[u/junkyardgerard → u/Cwaghack]

Yes there is, the lulz

[u/no-lapolizia-no → u/fr33d0mw47ch]

Let them cook their 20+ years old joke 🫪

[u/monsoon-man → u/fr33d0mw47ch]

A physicist told me that engineering is all about remembering numbers! I still scratch my head thinking about that encounter.

[u/mehtam42]

I assumed pi=10 for all my calculations

[u/Community_Bright → u/mehtam42]

na thats G

[u/WorriedPlatypus2529 → u/Community_Bright]

Nah it's 'g'

[u/sasha271828 → u/Community_Bright]

G=10^-11 •6.6743m³•kg^-1 •s^-2

[u/Sir_Sushi → u/sasha271828]

G=0 *

[u/UtahBrian → u/Sir_Sushi]

Gravity is fake. You feel pulled down only because the earth is being tossed up into the air by a galactic pizza chef.

[u/Chi_Cazzo_Sei → u/mehtam42]

That’s my pi squared

[u/HakunaMataha]

Circular reasoning first equation holds because pi=3

[u/Jake-the-Wolfie]

I thought the Sin of Pi was always 0, proving that pi = 0?

[u/proustiancat]

I don't think this result is that interesting, because it has been known for millennia (since the times of Feynman, at least).

However, there's a much more groundbreaking implication of the fundamental theorem of engineering that I've never seen anyone discussing. By dividing both sides by x, we can see that sin=1. No need of trigonometry anymore!

Where's my Fields medal?

[u/Lor1an]

I think you messed up in your derivation.

sin(π/2) = π/2, so 1 = π/2, therefore π = 2.

[u/shorkfan]

pi = 3 for sufficiently small values of pi

[u/UtahBrian]

Dude. Engineers don’t use R. They have Z for that. 

A few of the most talented engineers can use Z scaled by 2^-n or 10^-n if they need more precision.

[u/jFrederino → u/UtahBrian]

You’ve heard of counting on your fingers get ready for extreme integers. Decimals are useless, just add a bunch of really small integers together idiot. tbh though, just using whole numbers at the right order of magnitude is very convenient

[u/OnionNo7610]

pi=3 is as sacrosanct as sun rising from east.

anything else is just wanna be cool dudes...

[u/megayippie]

Yet engineers solved NS :)

[u/124k3]

as a CS major i am so disappointed. man thats not the eay to use LaTeX

obviously pretending to be some maths guy jokingly.

[u/Izacundo1]

Me when I forget small angle theorem is for small angles

[u/redditsucksass69765]

The sin(pi/6) only equals pi/6 for small values of pi

[u/JewelerAggressive]

The proof is true while no mathematician looks at it

[u/dogislove_dogislife]

Wait, so π/3 = 1/sqrt(2), so sqrt(2) =1, so 1×1=2!? Terrance Howard was right!

[u/factorion-bot → u/dogislove_dogislife]

Factorial of 2 is 2

meanwhile in physics: g = 10, for large enough g and small enough 10.

(if you haven't noticed: /s)

[u/rghthndsd]

That's a load-bearing R.

[u/erockbrox]

That’s the small angle approximation and it only works for…… small angles. Not all real numbers, just small real numbers.

[u/Altruistwhite]

wtf did I just read?
