… a truly singular number MathsJam 2016 The constant F … Wau … a truly singular number

The Mathematical Constant Wau … F Symbol F … pronounced wau, is the obsolete Greek letter Digamma. I was first introduced to Wau by the American Mathematics Vihart It is mathematical constant and was known to the Ancient Greeks, Babylonians and Egyptians. Has more than one way of representing it as an infinite decimal. Arguably more important than π, φ, i or e Zeno, Pythagoras and Ptolemy knew of it.

2 3 + 1 3 + 1 3 + 1 3 + 1 3 + 1 3 + 1 3 + 1 3 + 1 3 + 1 3 + 1 ………………………..... = F

… F eτi = F π (2π) Some of my favourite properties of Wau and F =   and F π (2π) … = (3π) F   eτi = F = ζ(F)
