Eulers Formula
Eulers Formula is a mathematical identity which states that (for any value of x): e^(ix)=cosx+isinx
This is of interest because of the following case: When x=pi, Euler's Formula gives the beautiful identity invovling pi, e, and i.
e^(ipi)+1=0,
A famous joke for mathematicians is "How many mathematicians does it take to change a light bulb?" and answers "-e^(ipi)" Can you tell what the answer is?
This is often used when dealing with complex numbers in exponential form.
