Probably 1 or 0

What a stupid fucking question, kys

pi

It's 1. seconding the FPBP as well, kys OP.

t. have a math degree

>>8619661
Define "important"

>>8619661
>exactly the Golden Ratio
No it's not, faggot. KYS

>>8619661
The identity, so 1 and 0 probably equal.

>>8619661
Zero.
If someone had not contemplated zero and none, then no one would have thought to have one.

>>8620257
The concept of one predated the concept of zero. In fact, even one was not considered a number by the ancient greeks. Two was the first number, the origin of quantitative reasoning, and therefore the most important number.

>>8620450
Wrong. N is the most important number, for without N, we would not have N+1.

>>8620453
>>8620450
"+" Then symbolically is the most important as it is the common factor between your two responses.

>>8620468
But then "/" is the most important because without it we would have no factors!

Q.E.D.

>I believe it's the Golden Ratio because it appears almost everywhere in nature.
Wrong.

>For example, the ratio of your height and the distance from your belly button to the ground is exactly the Golden Ratio.
Wrong.

>nobody said e
psh....

>>8619661
>the ratio of your height and the distance from your belly button to the ground is exactly the Golden Ratio

Are you implying that our height and/or the distance from our belly button to the ground is irrational?

Holy fuck.

Any measurement of a real object is irrational.

>>8620555
Holy fuck... that's why they call them the reals... really makes you think

>>8619661
either 1 or pi

>>8620450
he's right
we've found languages used by primitive people that only have words for "one" and "many", and others that have "one", "two", and many, and many that only go up to five or ten
two or three would be very significant in human terms by marking the beginning of verbal counting (although people from these primitive cultures can count, if you ask them to get as many seeds as you have for example they can usually exactly match it, they just don't have specific words for what they're doing)

>the ratio of your height and the distance from your belly button to the ground is exactly the Golden Ratio.

Say that to my face, you fucking faggot.

>irrational number
>appearing anywhere but in flawed calculus textbooks
Oh sorry, it doesn't even appear there, they just truncate it to couple decimal places and brainlets claim they know everything about this infinite sequence of numbers having seen first 2, 5 or 100 of them

The most important number is the biggest one, so around 2^300

Are irrational numbers actually "numbers"? I mean they can't define a quantity.

Does 0 count too?

>>8619661
1

>>8619661
>I believe it's the Golden Ratio because it appears almost everywhere in nature.
No it doesn't

>For example, the ratio of your height and the distance from your belly button to the ground is exactly the Golden Ratio.
Have you checked this?

Go back to Facebook, where you can pretend you are smart for knowing e. That number recently has acquired some popularity with brainlets.

>>8621972
It is about quantities, which are expressed through numbers.

>>8619668
>>8620137
>>8620179
>>8620257
>>8620483
>>8622165
All of these are correct.

>>8622160

They very readily describe lengths, however, e.g. √2 in the context of a right isosceles triangle.

√2 is /shown/, as Wittgenstein might say.

The number 5. Without it we would not be able to count to 6

The Nicomachean harmonic ratio for ellipses/hyperbolas

AB:BC :: AD:DB

A is the end of the transverse
B is the point where the ordinate comes into contact with the diameter
C is the vertex
D is the point where the tangent from the ordinate comes into contact with the diameter outside the parabola

This one ratio allows for many geometrical deductions that are unbelievably important. Apollonius consistently utilized this.

>>8622670
If it's so important, how come I've never heard of it?

>>8619661
There is no definition for important in mathamatics.

>>8620731
>>8619673
pi is so fucking boring and normal. Brainlet detected.

>>8619661
>important?
they all do something and are 'equally' important.
>what number is the 'coolest'?
... is a better question and by far it is 2.718281828459 - or pic related

lets compare wikipenis size:

vs

There is no such thing as importance in math or science.
You're projecting.

Pie, because it tastes good. HaHAA

Isn't that the meaning of life?

>>8624554
No that's the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

There is no meaning of life. However, the last message of god to his creation was "We apologize for the inconvenience"

Because alone can create space, subspace, it is the expected value of any space and subspace (including vector spaces). It has together no dimension and infinite dimensions.

>There is no such thing as importance in math or science.

>>8624674
It's not technically a number, you lose.

>>8623168
Because you havent read Nicomachus or Apollonius.

Skö's Constant

I still find the places it shows up amazing. Especially when you apply it to the complex analysis of Albrier pseudo-primes and their squared reciprocals

lucky number 7

Six. Hexagons are balanced and efficient, which is why its seen so much in nature.

it's about ideas.Quantities are just part of the framework for building the ideas, but essentially it's about form.

Proof or GTFO.

>>8625116
90+% of the people on this board couldn't write a proof to save their lives.

>>8624958
Hexagons are awesome. If you inscribe a hexagon in a circle, a side is equal to the radius, and thus, can be split into 6 equilateral triangles.

>>8619661
By order of importance:
1
0
e
i

everything else is garbage or linked to this 4 constants.

>>8625725
but anon, i is the same as 1

Philosophy is about ideas. Mathematics deals with only a specific set of ideas.
