Euler’s identity

Up a level : Euler's identity
Previous page : Euler's formula
Next page : Some important trig identities

Using Euler’s formula we get that

{e^{i\pi }} = \cos (\pi ) + i\sin (\pi ) =  - 1

Which immediately leads to arguably the most beautiful identities in mathematics:

{e^{i\pi }} + 1 = 0

A formula connecting five fundamental numbers in mathematics.

We also have that

{e^{i\pi /2}} = \cos (\pi /2) + i\sin (\pi /2) = i

And

{e^{ - i\pi /2}} = \cos ( - \pi /2) + i\sin ( - \pi /2) =  - i
