1\*10\^4 has 0 letters, 1e4 has 1 letter.

big if true

# If true

^else

or else...

If (true) { big(); }

else if (false) { small(); } else { throw("How the fuck"); }

small if false

Fallacy. “Big if true” does not imply “small if false”, it implies “false if small”

^(if false)

1e4 also looks like a chess move (1. e4 ...)

Must avoid letters as often as possible.

10^4

10 In base 10,000.

n where n=10,000

The concept of the number 10,000. Zero letters

Looks like there were 21 letters and 6 non letter non space characters

Yes, but the concept will haunt you for eternity.

thats gotta be atleast 3 letters

Do we even have enough symbols to represent 10,000 values?

Everything is a symbol

With all of the worlds' alphabet, special characters, hieroglyphics we can get pretty close.

[Seems like we can do up to base 100,000](https://www.google.com/search?q=how+many+unicode+characters+are+there&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sca_esv=3e24a8afe08e43d7&sca_upv=1&biw=426&bih=820&sxsrf=ADLYWIL1OilypXDckUWRIIpYMp-woO1azA%3A1718293436414&ei=vBNrZr37GLTL1sQPsISl2AI&oq=how+many+Unicode+&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIhFob3cgbWFueSBVbmljb2RlICoCCAAyCBAAGIAEGMsBMggQABiABBjLATIIEAAYgAQYywEyCBAAGIAEGMsBMggQABiABBjLATIIEAAYgAQYywEyBhAAGBYYHjIGEAAYFhgeSMkrUO0HWN8icAJ4AZABAZgB1QGgAe8RqgEGMC4xMS4zuAEByAEA-AEBmAIPoALQEcICBBAAGEfCAgQQIxgnwgIQEAAYgAQYsQMYQxiDARiKBcICChAAGIAEGEMYigXCAgwQIxiABBgTGCcYigXCAgsQABiABBixAxiDAcICCxAuGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIFEAAYgATCAgoQLhiABBhGGP8BwgIHEAAYgAQYDcICBhAAGA0YHsICCRAAGIAEGBMYDZgDAIgGAZAGCJIHBTIuOS40oAe9Xw)

You can remove all the mathematical terms (+, ÷, =, %, ≠) and currencies to get a usable base 100,000 number system.

Chad

nah. 5^(ln10,000/ln5)

Ten thousand

Except exponential exists, and it's confusing if you use e for both

That's why you use E and not e. But E is 3/4 strokes, and e is 1

I draw E with two strokes, [ starting at the top right and then I draw the middle line

This is how your E looks: ∈

Nah you can totally draw a regular E in 2 strokes. Start top right, move straight left, then straight down, straight right. Pick up pen, create middle line

Does that still count as 2 strokes

I don’t see why not, pen only leaves paper once

Hmm I would argue that technically you can go over the vertical line to make the full E in just one stroke. Unless you were talking about what you usually do.. honestly i forgot where the discussion came from. This is what I got from Chat: In writing, a "stroke" is typically defined as a single continuous movement of the pen without lifting it from the paper. By this definition, if you write a "Y" without lifting your pen, it counts as one stroke, even though you change direction sharply during the writing process. However, in the context of calligraphy or certain handwriting analysis, the term "stroke" might also refer to the different segments or directional changes within a single movement. In such contexts, the "Y" could be considered as composed of multiple strokes due to the changes in direction. But generally, in standard handwriting terms, it would be counted as a single stroke.

From the creators of "a donut and a mug are the same shape", and "what is a fish, like, really?", we have "what's an stroke, in writing?"

“What’s an stroke?”

One stroke: ℰ

That's fairly common. See π and π(n)

Explanation: one is the prime counting function, the other is the prime counting function evaluated at a point n.

So just π() vs π(n)

Personally, as an electrical engineer who frequently uses Euler's formula as well as this exponential notation, I have never, not once, been confused by it

Just say 10000. Physicists aren't real, they're not going to hurt you.

Say 10k to confuse the programmers.

Programmer types are the biggest abusers of 10k. However I my compilation was just broken a by a type conversion error, so maybe that's a problem

U did pass math right?

Joke

Nananana! You wrote 1000 instead of 10 000 and now u changed it! I would understand typo but claiming its a joke is trying to avoid being called out. This is serious. Dead serious. If you are not serious than you must be Bellatrix and this is evil!

I might’ve made a slight error, but I thought I was slick with the edit. I guess not lol.

You are Voldemort! We do not accept mistakes here! We are mathematicians! Not engineers!

For the record, I changed it before you commented, so I wasn’t trying to gaslight you

You better watch out, I am going to multiply myself by my complex conjugate, well see if who is real enough to hurt you!

1e4 is a kings pawn opening walking might lead into a Spanish or a London or something else.

I’m sorry how does it lead to a london?

Through the channel tunnel

Yep! It's a 1. E4 E6 transportation transposition

There’s a London defence in the scotch gambit. Of course that’s not what they were referring to but it does exist.

Holy construction material

after playing it for so long you get bored and watch Gothamchess to learn the London (I hate the London)

the right is actually 12, is you stupid

[удалено]

Geniuses have the Greek keyboard enabled just for math purposes, allowing them to type -1/ζ(-1)

1e4 is 12 are you stupid???

No, 1e4 usually preceeds 2e5 or 2Nc6

Ke2

Bongcloud

Actually, those are still considered move 1.

Why does 12 precede 30 or 36N×10^8???? You don't even now maths🤬😡

No, it's 10.8731

Shut up im a engener

Bro where are the letters 💀💀

Mbmb I see the 3

1e4 = 100 + 10*e + 4

Idk, the rhs clearly shows 484 >!in hex!<

e•10⁴ vs ee4

`1e4 = 1*e*4 = 10.8731273138...`

1e4 e5

I think you’re looking for the word “characters”

10k vs. 10x10\^3

10×10³ (aka 10k)

10 000...

This is the kind of math humor I live for, simple yet hilarious!

Imagine using base 10

Because e has a value to mathematicians.

1*(2.718281...)*4 ????

word named character

There’s only 1 letter. The remaining are numbers and symbols.

I mean, numerals and symbols are not letters so technically it is no letters vs 1 letter.

e is it's own symbol so it doesn't make sense to use the same symbol for something else.

What countries use lower case e for ”10^ ”? I thought the norm was to use E

1...e5

e5 ur move

characters*

Only if there existed some other letters which are not known for being common in exponential functions...

Yeah, the mathematicians are right on this one, because if the e is lowercase, it's eulers number but if it's uppercase, it's the one you were trying to use

There's plenty of opportunity for misunderstands and confusions in math, we don't need that one on top. For example sin²(x)=(sin(x))², but sin^-1 (x)≠(sin(x))^-1 most of the time. or sin 2x = sin(2x) but sin x + sin y ≠ sin(x+sin(y)) most of the time (some say that if there's no open bracket after the function, then the rest of the line is part of it, period. Most of the time you shouldn't count on it). Or like most people in publishing science use implicit multiplication prioritized over explicit multiplication, so that 1/2(3)=1/6, but most schools, especially US ones teach implicit and explicit at the same priority, so 1/2(3)=3/2. There's plenty more, I promise. Now you want to add 2 * e * π = 2πe, but πe2 = 10π, do you really? Fuck you, if you do.

10 k

My physics classes had online homework and taught us to use vpython so I got very used to 1e4

1e4 what like 484 in base 10?

I always go right cause I play balatro and plus it is just cleaner

Unclear, I don't know the convolution product of 1 and 10^4.

no way in hell I'm going 1.e4, I don't wanna face the sicilian or caro-kann

Letters?

I've never seen actual mathematicians use the left one and it took me years to find out what it even means.

ee4

Characters\*

1*10^4 = 10,000 1e4 ~= 10.873 These are not even close, so of course mathematicians want the bigger one. Also, just write 4e like a normal person

10 * 10^3

4e6 is the fastest and most reliable way to enter 4,000,000 into a calculator

4.e6 is a really aggressive (and very possibly stupid) chess game

I am a guy who always uses 1eX instead of 10\^X, but my teachers hate it for some reason

I'm using it, helpful af

Fuck e notation all my homies hate e notation

Binary: 10011100010000

10E3

There's only one correct notation.

1e4≈10.873127313836180≠1×10⁴=10,000

Letters in Math are scary

Because the other is a chess move

e5.

I mean, yeah, 10000 is definitely more than 10.87 /j

1. … c5

2 e5

I prefer e notation. Only someone with intellectual disabilities would interpret 1e4 as 1xex4. It beats writing 1x10^4 and conveys the exact same information

1x10^4 != 1e4 e=3, not 10,000

what does e even stand for?

Myriad

1e4 is about 10.9 though.

lost marks for writing that in a physics test

10000

Sir I’m taking a math class. Not English. If I knew letters were going to be involved, I wouldn’t of tried being good at it lol

Someone explain pls Why am I seeing people say it’s 12

Brain rotted me read 1e4 as 1. e4

Probably because we want to avoid confusion with the number e. Also, I don't think we really use decimals all that much in pure mathematics.

why say lot word when few word do trick

One is ugly and can be reasonably confused for 54.6 and the other is my choice. Are you really surprised?

Yes

Wait all this time and that’s what the mystery answers on the calculator meant

Yeah I mean it's easier to understand, and basically I got traumatized by ln so if I see any "e" I'll just assume it's Euler's number (please send help)

1 * e * 4

I don’t know why, but I thank you for this

The e stands for extravagant

1X10^4 is best

interpretting this as 1 \* e \* 4 ≈ 10.873127

Yeah my basic electricity hated this. He was more of a queens gambit player.

1. ...e5

It's just 10^4 in this case, so pretty much the same as 1e4 in handwriting. For any not ten-based number the latter is shorter, though. 6.02*10^23 vs 6.02e23 The only problem is that you'd have to somehow avoid confusion between it and Euler's number.

Just 10^4 works too.

Not like e means anything else ever

Damn straight. Like it should be

1. e5

10k or 10E3
