mind-blowing and fascinating formula invented‚ called the “Euler’s formula”. This formula was created and introduced by mathematician Leonhard Euler. In essence‚ the formula establishes the deep relationship between trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function. Euler’s formula: eix=cos(x)+isin(x); x being any real number Wow -- we’re relating an imaginary exponent to sine and cosine! What is even more interesting is that the formula has a special case: when π is substituted for
