Top 10 Reasons Why e (e) is Inferior to pi (π)

Engineering & Science Humor - RF CafeThese engineering and science tech-centric jokes, song parodies, anecdotes and assorted humor have been collected from friends and websites across the Internet. I check back occasionally for new fodder, but it seems all the old content is reappearing all over (like this is). The humor is light-hearted and clean and sometimes slightly assaultive to the easily-offended, so you are forewarned. It is all workplace-safe.

Humor #1, #2, #3

             

    10) e is less challenging to spell than pi.

     9) e ~=2.718281828459045, which can be easily

         memorized to its billionth place, whereas

         pi needs "skills" to be memorized.

     8) The character for "e" is so cheap that it can be

         found on a keyboard, but pi is

         special (it's under "special symbols" in word

         processor programs).

     7) Pi is the bigger piece of pie.

     6) e has an easy limit definition and infinite series;

         the limit definition of pi and the infinite

         series are much harder.

     5) With e you understand what it is even though

         you start learning it late when you are in

         pre-calculus, but pi, even after five or six years

         it's still hard to know what it really is.

     4) People mistakenly confuse Euler's Number (e)

         with Euler's Constant (gamma). There is no

         confusion with the one and only pi.

     3) e is named after a person, but pi stands for itself.

     2) Pi is much shorter and easier to say than "Euler's Number."

              And the number one reason why e is inferior to pi is...

    1) To read pi, you don't have to know that Euler's name is really pronounced Oiler.
