How would you pronounce "e^π"?
Example: Which is larger, eπ or πe?
[From a high school math test. (Translation mine.)]I am not a teacher.

How would you pronounce to? In its strong form (/tuː/, not /tə/)?

Use the weak form. In the first side of the equation, put stress on ee and pie and eye, but not on to or the. Originally Posted by YAMATO2201
