Let's play Standard Shiritori! しりとりをしましょう!

·週刊誌·しゅうかんし - weekly magazine

Ja (aber ich habe für eine lange Zeit Deutsche nicht gesprochen) und ja, I do love mathematics. The number ‘e’ is also called both Napier’s number and Euler’s number (I guess this is where ‘e’ comes from).

心理学 (しんりがく) = psychology

Haha, that’s quite a coincidence, as German happens to be my first language!

I think one of the most interesting fact about e is that it appears in so many branches of Mathmatics, even if they don’t seem to be related at all! And then there are multiple ways to define e (e.g. with a series or a limit).

And there is a pretty interesting fact about pi, too! I’ve learned and noticed that whenever pi shows up somewhere, there is pretty much always some way to find a hidden circle where the pi comes from. I don’t know if there is an exception to that, but I haven’t found one yet :wink:

Apart from these, some other very interesting numbers that I can think of right now are phi (aka golden ratio), 42 (cuz funny lol), i (I love working with complex numbers :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:), and the omega constant (because it is defined via one of my favorite functions when it comes to solving equations :slightly_smiling_face:).

区別くべつ - distinction

Yes, I saw it in another topic and thought it would be nice to answer you in your own language.

Indeed, those ever appearing constants are something to wonder about. I like this expression where three of them show up together in such a succinct way:

eπi +1 = 0

In fact, the next ‘some number’ I was thinking of using as reply was to be φ, which in Japanese is ‘·黄金比·おうごんひ’, literally ‘golden ratio’, also being used for ratio.

EDIT: I was wondering why 42, now I remember: this is the answer to the Ultimate Question. :laughing:
