Definition df-tau 16397
Description: Define the circle constant tau, τ = 6.28318..., which is the smallest positive real number whose cosine is one. Various notations have been used or proposed for this number including τ, a three-legged variant of π, or 2π. Note the difference between this constant τ and the formula variable 𝜏. Following our convention, the constant is displayed in upright font while the variable is in italic font; furthermore, the colors are different. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 9-Apr-2018.)
