Buffons Needle is Cranky and from "playing with drugs". Why is 1% error is fine?
Do it.. the video on e.. do it.
I think for the coin flip example, it's impossible to be at 0 if you flip the coin an odd number of times
Hey, I'm kinda torn between majoring in computer engineering and computer science. Which do you think is a better choice?
9:06 "The answer is pi. Nah, I'm just kidding" made me laugh as fuck
Your videos are really great. Keep up the good work! Mark my words, this channel will be well over one million subs on New Year's Eve! 🙂
Can you do rejuvenation biotechnology, specifically research on curing aging and the SENS research foundation?

I LOVE IT! Pi and e are both wonderfully NATURAL numbers – they're EVERYWHERE in nature! Who wouldn't love that? tavi.
Euler please!
After watching the whole video my brain is telling me
fuck this shit i'm out
2:02
JUST WRITE 1/2
this is exactly why i hate engineers
How about in Stirlings approximation, try adding 1/Pi instead of 1/3. I haven't tried it but it might get a lot closer, or maybe even exact.
Take a drink every time he namedrops 3Blue1Brown, just goes to show how useful of a resource that channel is
The integral from negative infinity to infinity of (cos (x^2)/x^2 + 1) dx =pi / e
MIND – BLOWN
Very cool video. I am excited for the video about e
