It's much easier to just pay attention

A quarter of width times height divided by the inverse of pi

πr^2?
- engineers use d²π/4 as you can't measure the radius of a pipe or a similar 3d solid object only diameter.
  
  or engineers are not smart enough to calculate r=d/2 first
  
  I use the measure tool in solidworks
  
  This actually explains some of the formulas in research papers I've read.
- No its actually r^2π
  
  No, its r^π √2

As a side note, I'm taking a refresher math course and ChatGPT is fucking awful at math. Which is pretty weird because I was told it was the best use case scenario for it?
Definitely see why programners aren't really worried about it taking their jerbs
- Interesting, what kind of math? I find chatGPT is excellent at analysis and probability theory, less so in algebra, but still serviceable.
  
  Calculus, so, yeah, more or less algebra with depression.

Just make equations into songs. I still remember the quadratic formula and I haven't done any algebra in ten years.

I surprised myself at remembering this one. Possibly the mnemonic of a tasty square pie helped me remember all these years.
