Personally, I prefer pi as opposed to e. I like the classics. We learn pi first, and it is much easier to comprehend it's purpose, that is, having to do with circumference and such. e is much more unfriendly, especially when dealing with natural logarithms.

Pi.  The actual pi symbol is prettier and much more fun to use.  Plus, you can have pi day (March 14th,) but not e day!

I like e.  Maybe I'll go and campaign for an e day.

Although I will admit that pi is used much more often than e.  Maybe I'm just rooting for the underdog.

Pull on my boots, run through the back door,

I like Pi.  but that is basically because that's the one symbol that was really pounded into us in math class.  the symbol itself is nifty and because, like Timmmee said, there's an actual Pi day.

Pi. 3.14 is much more attractive than 2.71. And like TiMmMeE said, there is a Pi day, but no E day. Plus, .14 is an awesome number because 14 is an awesome number.

I like them both...but I like pi more.


Mmm...pi...*gurgles like Homer Simpson*.

In all honesty, you'd think that there would be an end to those numbers eventually...eventually...there should be.

I might be thinking of something different, but if you multiply pi by 7, don't you get a whole number...like...22?

Actually, now that I think about it, there probably is a reason for that, but I'm too tired to recall it...

I dunno...I'm not mathmatecian, I just like it because it sounds like a food.

Yeah. Pi can also be written as 22 over 7, I think. That is what I was told.

For my answer, I have only used pi, so I'll go with it.

22/7 approaches pi, but is nowhere near the exact number, as the number is irrational and/or gay. Wham.

e is definitely more useful than pi - I use it more, thus prefer it. Pi gets abused by 10 year olds who think they can do circles.

Pi is so much fun to memorize (and eat)! I know it 30 digits, and have it written to 500 on my math binder. (Now's the time to sound the nerd alert   )

Here's to Pi!

First of all, I wanted to be the one to say that. Secondly, "and/or gay", tee hee.

In any event, I'd probably go with Pi, despite my wild emotions to be a little left of the groove. It just looks a lot sexier.

But where's the i-option? I'd pick that in a second.

e because it is more advanced than pi.

If you go around asking people what pi is, most will know, but not if you ask them what Euler's number is.

And calculus is just awesome. It'll also be very useful in engineering, not that I know whether e will have any use later on.
