| Abstract | Two professors from Williams College present arguments, challenge orthodoxy, brazenly flaunt convention, and often behave badly in this humorous debate over the relative merits of everyone's favorite transcendental numbers, pi and e, staged for the 1st Year Family Weekend at Williams College on October 29, 2005. The debate participants: Colin Adams states the case for pi, Thomas Garrity is e's champion, and Edward Burger serves as moderator. |
