MWresearch Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 In reference to logically interpereting the law, I want to know if its possible to use checks wherein the amount specified of the check can be substituted with a mathematical expression like e^(pi*I)+e^(ln(12+sin(pi/2))).

ajb Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 You have the obvious problem of transcendental numbers... but you can always round off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For confirmation purposes, banks usually require you to print the amount in words so they can see if the numbers and words match. If they don't, the written words usually take precedence.

John Cuthber Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I can see it being returned as "illegible" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatfaal Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 frankly the i in e to the pi i should not be a capital and looks more like a numeral one than the imaginary number i. you would risk it being settled at closer to 36 than 12. I think you are more likely to get a returned cheque along with a bill from the bank for proffering a cheque which has been deliberately mal-completed. Possibly with a note asking the payer to not be a silly billy in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Dear sir, due to a clerical error in processing your cheque, your current balance is showing up as imaginary. Unfortunately since we are a bank we only deal in real money. We apologise for any inconvenience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I can see it being returned as "illegible" Banks are entitled to do this, but they want that money. I think, as long as you wrote out the amount in words on the legal line, that's what the bank would fall back on, regardless of the equation you put in the little courtesy box.

fiveworlds Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 There are just machines in my local bank and a security guard. I really don't see you cashing that cheque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
