Famously evaluates when x = π (pi) to Euler's Identity (listed halfway down the page), which is one of those beautiful "Wow!" formulas that brings seemingly unconnected things together.
e^(i x π) = -1

- Twisol 6y agoApropos of nothing, that page suggests that the identity (with the 1 shifted across the equals sign) is beautiful because it relates e, pi, i, 1, and 0. I always felt 1 and 0 were shoehorned in, because they're clearly nonessential when one writes it the way you did. It honestly detracts from the pure relationship between e, pi, and i.
