The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
tau
    The mathematical constant that is the circumference
   of a circle divided by its radius, equal to twice pi.
   Some have suggested that pi is the wrong choice of constant to
   describe the geometry of circles etc. and tau = 2*pi would have
   been better.  Most practising mathematicians think this is silly.
   The xkcd comic strip facetiously proposed
   (http://xkcd.com/1292/) a compromise of 1.5*pi or "pau".
