pi isnt even the most natural circle constant. if the defining characteristic of a circle is its radius, why is our circle constant stated in terms of the ratio of diameter to circumference? tao is the real circle constant, r/c = 6.28. check out tauday.com for more info, its a really interesting website. tau > pi
Pi is overrated and e is not and here is why. the problem with pi is that some of its multiples are just as equally important as the number itself. For example 2pi or 1/2pi, just look at a physics book and you find just as many formulas with 2pi as with pi. So why does pi get special symbol and not 2pi. Is the whole circle number (6.28...) less important than the half circle number (3.14) ?? It's actually really not. Multiples of e however have no remarkable properties.
exp(i*pi)+1=0

The only meaningful use of pi and e is to decompose a function into Furier Series

@talesofdork wtf??? If you are dumb just say it... Mathematics is not yours, quit it

@MrIcicle Except mutiples of e are very important, as mutiples of pi are less important.
