Once upon a time on a rock farm, two sisters bond over a piece of geometry.

I have no idea what double maths is, and Google is being singularly unhelpful.

As for the story itself, it was fantastic. Subdued and studious, yet full of love and energy. A perfect story for Pinkie and Maud. Throwing in the origin of bonding through rock candy and Pinkie's understanding of book sorting made it even better.

Really, it all comes down to the equations. 2πr = A. That is, two Pies are the best! :pinkiehappy: Thank you for the proof.

I have no idea what double maths is

Sorry that's jargon from my own background creeping in. Basically it refers to UK students who do both the 'Mathematics' and 'Further Mathematics' options in their final year at school. In other words - the real maths nerds.
Glad you liked the story. :pinkiehappy:

¡Yeah! ¡It is TauDay! ¡Yeah! ¡I wrote a blog about TauDay! ¡Yeah!

Yet another great mix of heartwarming comedy and mathematics. This is why I love following you.:twilightsmile:

Thanks for the explanation. Being from the US, the term was new to me as well. US students would know this as taking Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus, which can give college credit in many universities.

Double maths is like a hayburger with cheese, except instead of a hayburger there's math, and instead of the cheese, there's more math. Simple! :derpyderp2:

The cake is a 3.141592653589793?. Actually its truncated, like a Cornish Pasty?

Ive seen the full 2D Zeta graph plotted in complex space, but has anyone plotted it in quaternion or octonion space yet? Ive seen GPU source code with Q^Q functions directly calalbl, so it should be possible to so a whole load of horribly complex real world simulations relatively simply?

Dont forget the quantisation limits in your recursive functions. When turbulent airflow gets small enough, it becomes molecular rotation, and hence heat. :twilightblush:

Vorticies, viscocity, fluidics etc also work in hydrothermal deposits, laval flows, crystaline formations etc. The time scales can vary wildly. Crystal formation in chemical deposition is usually in the nanometers per second, but recetly its been shown that gold might deposit from a supersaturated solution in rapid depressurisation. Sort of like Rock Fog. :twilightoops:

:pinkiehappy:It was under "E"~

Did anyone else starting hearing the pi song in their head?
:pinkiehappy:

How tau, brown cow? Interesting concept, I think this would be how story time would go for Pinkie Pie.

Too bad Maud didn' talk about this with Twilight, they would have hit it off better :twilightsmile:

“I LOVE apparently random strings of numbers! Teach me! Teach me! Teach me!”

Brings a tear to my eye.

She didn't ask.

At least, I feel that's what Maud would say.:rainbowlaugh:

4613858 I just noticed this on a reread and thought of commenting, only to find someone had already spotted it!

I really should read Elements...

Her preliminary geological studies had taught her that every rock had a fascination life story.

Double maths and learnt! God save the Queen! :rainbowlaugh:

This was really something. Ponies and STEM are my favorite things!

This pleases me. It's always good to see others familiar with τ. :twilightsmile:

So the Cake is a Pi?

“I LOVE apparently random strings of numbers!

Pinkie's a mare after my own heart. :twistnerd:

I reread this again as I do every year.
