Related: in a reaction to a comment I wrote about logarithms about a month ago[0], saulpw recently linked his own idea of making logarithms more "accessible" to the masses by introducing magnitude-based notation:
I think it is a really nice idea that should be spread more widely. It might be Pi day, and while I traditionally complain that Tau is better for contrarian reasons (hey at least I'm honest), we might as well co-opt the extra attention maths gets for other mathematical causes.
