Tau’s Day celebrated

Children of Eklavya School celebrated Tau Day. Various online activities were organised like circular shapes, finding the circumference and diameter and using tau instead of Pi. The concept was explained on charts, making activity videos and explaining it. Chairman JK Gupta said children should take part in such mathematical activities to curb their maths phobia. Director Seema Handa also appreciated the students who took part in Tau Day. She said the first known use of tau was approximated by Archimedes in the third century. “He was born in the Greek city-state of Syracuse. Archimedes was known as one of the greatest scientists of the classical age, who among many other things, calculated Pi to the most precise value known. Pi is defined as the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter as is tau, but some believe that Archimedes work would have been all the better if he had relied more on tau than Pi”, the students were told.
