minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoThat’s pretty much what radians are. Well, they combine base pi with whatever base you’re using for the coefficients.
minus-squareblind3rdeye@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoI saw someone post this a few days ago, and someone else quickly pointed out that it is incorrect. This time I’ll point out it is incorrect. In base-pi, pi would be represented as 10. The place value of the right-most digit would be pi^0, and the next digit is pi^1.
Pi is 1 in base-pi

Indeed. 10 is pi in base-pi
