- gizmo686 7y agoe^iτ + 0 = 1 Fixed.
- lisper 7y agoe^iτ = 1 + 0 Fixed^2
- simongr3dal 7y agoe^iτ = 1 + 0i Fixed for real this time-final.final.v2.docx
- EGreg 7y agoYou mean fixed for all real values of i?
- ngcc_hk 7y ago-1 not 1 ... e^iπ+1=0 from e^ix=sinx + icosx with x=π
- gizmo686 7y agoThats why we are using τ not π.
