Euler\u2019s Identity:<\/p>\n

The most beautiful equation in mathematics that combines five of the most important constants of nature: 0, 1, \u03c0, e and i, with the three fundamental operations: addition, multiplication and exponentiation.<\/p>\n

Euler\u2019s identity is an equality found in mathematics that has been compared to a Shakespearean sonnet and described as \u201cthe most beautiful equation<\/a>.\u201d It is a special case of a foundational equation in complex arithmetic called Euler\u2019s Formula, which the late great physicist Richard Feynman called in his lectures<\/a> \u201cour jewel\u201d and \u201cthe most remarkable formula in mathematics.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an interview with the BBC<\/a>, Prof David Percy of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications said Euler\u2019s Identity was \u201ca real classic and you can do no better than that \u2026 It is simple to look at and yet incredibly profound, it comprises the five most important mathematical constants.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
