When I first started chatting online with the woman to whom I'm married, she told me that she had a single tattoo, and that it was of an equation.
I immediately guessed Euler's identity and wrote "$e^{i\pi}+1=0$"
That was when we knew it was serious.
I got lucky (in more ways than one) because she'd nearly gone with her other choice, the continuum hypothesis
- kurthr 10y agoEuler's equation is cool... Written properly it contains addition, negation, multiplication, exponentiation, the imaginary unit, the additive identity, the multiplicative identity, the natural anti-derivative identity, and two irrational transcendental numbers in a most compact form with holomorphic continuity.
- davidme2 10y agoWas this a random stranger you started chatting with online or did you know her in real life before?
- pacaro 10y agoWe had exchanged messages on okcupid and had progressed to gchat. At the time she was in New York and I was in Seattle
- curiousgal 10y agoA success story, congratulations!
