For some reason in my head, “eeeeeeeeeeeee de eee de e” is the sounds a toddler makes when you take them to a play ground and they just start to run in wide arcs - unable to decide which piece of equipment to play on first.
So, of course, the integral of “eeeeeeeeeeeee de eee de e” would be the sound of them sleeping the car on the way home.

“e”, or Euler’s number, is a constant used in maths because it has useful properties in logarithms and some other things. Basically just like pi except for logarithms instead of circles. Like pi, it’s an infinitely long series of non-repeating digits. The crime you have witnessed in the post is a shitload of mathematical operations applying e to e in various ways in order to get (very close to) pi. Like saying “I’m going to make 14 using only 2” and then saying (222)-2, except instead of 2 and 14 you’ve got e and pi

Formatting messed up (on my client at least.) It’s
2^2^2
, but it looks like(2^2)2

That was the intention, yes. Thanks

So it is not really approximating pi and there is no circle hiding?
- Skua ( @Skua@kbin.earth ) 2•2 months ago
It’s approximating the value of the actual number pi, 3.14159 etc. It’s not doing anything with pi after that

Donno if it’s part of the joke but there is a beautiful equation:
eiπ+1=0
So once you allow yourself to use i and log and stuff, you get a nice and simple equation

They’re also doing some shenanigans with the variable of integration. I bet it would look a lot more palatable if they were changed

Look, I tried to solve this with Wolfram alpha, desmos, and nunerical integration in Python, but what does a subscript e even mean?? None of the methods I tried even returned a solution, which is kinda unsurprising…how do you integrate with respect to e, when e isnt a variable??
