  1. Why does $e^{i\\pi}=-1$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Euler's formula describes two equivalent ways to move in a circle. Starting at the number $1$, see multiplication as a transformation that changes the number $1 \cdot e^ {i\pi}$. Regular exponential …

  2. Prove that $e^ {i\pi} = -1$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Oct 13, 2021 · Prove Euler's identity $e^ {i\theta} = \cos \theta + i \sin \theta$ using Taylor series. Then plug in $\theta = \pi$.

  3. How does $e^ {\pi i}$ equal $-1$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    I love how the OP said, "I put it into the calculator and it works". Love this, my favorite example of how non-intuitive math can be.

  4. Explain why $e^ {i\pi} = -1$ to an $8^ {th}$ grader?

    Apr 20, 2015 · @Jamie: FWIW, I first saw this fact outside of class in about 7th grade, saw it "formally" for the first time in pre-calculus, got a first non-rigorous proof in Calculus II, and wasn't able to prove …

  5. express $\mathrm {e}^ { (2+i \pi/2)}$ in form $a + bi$

    Jan 19, 2014 · I'm just starting out into Complex numbers, polar and exponential form etc... I can happily convert numbers such as $\\mathrm{e}^{i \\pi/2}$ but I'm a little stumped with how to handle the extra …

  6. Does Euler's formula give $e^ {-ix}=\cos (x) -i\sin (x)$?

    Apr 13, 2018 · Does Eulers formula give $$e^{-ix}=\\cos(x) -i\\sin(x)$$ I know that $$e^{ix}=\\cos(x)+i\\sin(x)$$ But how does it work when we have a $-$ in front

  7. How does $e^ {i x}$ produce rotation around the imaginary unit circle?

    Possible duplicates: How does e, or the exponential function, relate to rotation?, How to prove Euler's formula: $\exp (it)=\cos (t)+i\sin (t)$?

  8. Simple Proof of the Euler Identity $\\exp{i\\theta}=\\cos{\\theta}+i ...

    Jun 25, 2016 · I have two favorite arguments that we should have $\exp (i\theta)=\cos \theta +i\sin \theta$ for real $\theta$. The first is closely related to Mathologer's video e to the pi i for dummies, …
