Eulers Formula
First and foremost, I want to clarify that the pronunciation of !uler" in !uler#s Formula is $iler" so it should be said as $iler#s" Formula. %he e&uation is called as such because one of the main variables in this formula is e or !uler#s 'umber, which is named after the (wiss )athematician *eohnard !uler. %his number e is an irrational number is appro+imated to be 2.718281828459045 23536... %his value of e is a mathematical constant which is used as the base in natural lo,arithms instead of base ten, which is commonly used in lo,arithms. -nother fundamental variable used in this e&uation is , which is also an irrational number. %here are millions of .nown di,its of , which are presently calculated usin, computers, but an e+ample is 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971 693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679. /i 0) is also a mathematical constant 1ust li.e e, and this constant represents the ratio of a circle#s circumference to its diameter. /i is one of the most important mathematical constants2 its application is not only in math, but it can also be used in science and en,ineerin,. %his e&uation also ma.es use of the mathematical constant i which is e&ual to the s&uare root of ne,ative one. %his constant i, is an ima,inary number because s&uare roots of ne,ative numbers do not e+ist. (ince there are no values li.e that which e+ist, the value is simply ima,ined as the s&uare root of ne,ative one and assi,ned the symbol i. %he last two constants that are involved with this e&uation are two symbols we are all familiar with. %hese two are one and 3ero. $ne is an important mathematical constant which is the identity factor for multiplication and division. 4ero, on the other hand, is an identity factor for addition and subtraction. %hese two numbers are very commonly used and are very important for mathematics and other sciences.

Ima,ine the first three constants were mi+ed into one e&uation. %hese first three constants which are all appro+imations2 the first two bein, irrational, and the last one, i bein, ima,inary, were mi+ed into one e&uation. 5hat would the e+pected outcome be6 7ad I not .nown of this e&uation, I would have e+pected some comple+ value which would ,ive a person a nosebleed, but no. %his formula, which raises e to the product of and i, states that this value is e&ual to ne,ative one.

e(*i) = -1
Rearran,in, this we ,et,

e(*i) +1 = 0
w !" !s also #$ow$ %o &e Eulers Formula. %he first thin, that comes to your mind, I#m sure, is why is this so6" %he proof for this is that there is also based on a formula, proven by derivatives and other comple+ mathematics, which is e!'="os'+!s!$'. (ubstitutin, for +, we ,et

e *i ="os +is!$ =(-1)+i(0) e *i =-1

%his e&uation is special and mysterious not only because it contains five of the most important mathematical constants, which are i, e, , 1( and 02 but also because it ma.es use of the three fundamental mathematical operations which are a))!%!o$, mul%!*l!"a%!o$, and e'*o$e$%!a%!o$. -nother thin, that is special about this e&uation is that it raises an !rra%!o$al "o$s%a$%, to a *ro)u"% o+ a$o% er !rra%!o$al "o$s%a$% a$) a$ !ma,!$ar- "o$s%a$%, and it produces a whole number, and a simple one, which is -1. %his is e&uation, !uler#s Formula, still holds many mysteries and ama3es many mathematics students and professors worldwide2 but what is proven to be true holds true 8no matter how outra,eous it may seem.
