# The art of Pi ($pi$), Phi ($phi$) and $e$

This section contains various art work based on $\pi$, $\phi$ and $e$ that I created over the years. $pi$ day and $pi$ approximation day artwork is kept separate.

The accidental similarity number (ASN) is a kind of overlap between numbers. I came up with this concept after creating typographical art about the $i$-ness of $\pi$.

The poster shows the accidental similarity number for $\pi$, $\phi$ and $e$ created from the first 1,000,000 digits of each number.

Segments of $\pi$, $\phi$ and $e$ are connected by thin links if the same digit is shared between two numbers, and thick links if among all three. Shown for the first 10,000 digits. (PNG)

I came up with Accidental Similarity Number immediately after creating this poster of the overlap between $\pi$, $\phi$ and $e$.
