Euler's identity

Thanks to Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, some said this is the greatest mathematical theorem. The formula contains many key elements in math: real number, imaginary unit, addition, multiplication, and exponentiation. This is amazing. I wish I knew more about math to appreciate the beauty of the equation.

Here, first we have the Euler’s number e:


Then the imaginary unit i:
The last, we have pi:




And the Euler’s Formula states:
or more commonly expressed as:
