Hotdamn. It just cracks me up when e says she’s uncomfortable with being rounded to the nearest tenth. (And if you don’t quite get the joke, check out Fourier’s proof that e is an irrational number.)
Isn’t it peculiar and fascinating that, while we know that both pi and e are both irrational numbers, we haven’t been able to prove whether pi + e is irrational or rational?

Who knew math could be funny!
