💡 Pro tip: This is one of those techniques that will make you look like a data science wizard! The Discovered Universal Number - Made Simple!

The concept of a “discovered universal number” is not a well-established mathematical or scientific concept. There is no single number that has been universally recognized as having special properties across all mathematical and scientific domains. Instead, there are several numbers that have significant roles in various fields of mathematics and science. In this presentation, we’ll explore some of these important numbers and their applications.

Let me walk you through this step by step! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import math

# Some important numbers in mathematics and science
pi = math.pi
e = math.e
phi = (1 + math.sqrt(5)) / 2

print(f"Pi: {pi}")
print(f"Euler's number: {e}")
print(f"Golden ratio: {phi}")
