e^τi = 1.
In words, this equation makes the following fundamental observation:
The complex exponential of the circle constant is unity.
Geometrically, multiplying by e^iθ corresponds to rotating a complex number by an angle θ in the complex plane, which suggests a second interpretation of Euler’s identity:
A rotation by one turn is 1.

- wodenokoto 10y agoThanks for posting this. I recently saw another video about this equation than the one posted here and thought "maybe this is one of those cases where tau doesn't work out nicely", but didn't have the intuition to see if it was or not.
