Indeed. The title of that 3Blue1Brown video is, “What is Euler’s Formula actually saying?”
That “easy to remember” formula had been presented to me countless times. It only made sense once I stopped thinking about it in terms of repeated multiplication.
- l- 4y agoThe repeated "many folding", which would be better visualized as tendition, exponentiation ("tendaddition") pattern also breaks with fractions & at the most basic negative numbers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvmuCPvRoWQ&t=922s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvmuCPvRoWQ&t=922s Also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28524792 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28524792 "log base" would be better named untendaddition similarly division - does not necessary "separate" - untendition & unaddition - does not "draw under". Etymologos to use "given" symbols over the datum names.
