Which Number is Larger?!
Here is a great question to test your understanding of basic
freshman level calculus. The quesitions is:
Which number is larger? e^\pi or \pi^e?
Here, e^\pi means the number e raised to the power pi (hopefully someday
I'll learn a way to make this look better... for now you'll just
have to bear with me).
If you get stuck, here is a file of hints. At the end of the file, you
will find two solutions to this problem. If you come up with another
solution, give yourself a pat on the back and then let me know. I'd love
to add it to the list!
