Euler’s Indentity
Discovery
It was around 1740, and mathematicians were interested
in imaginary numbers.
i2 = −1
And here is the miracle ... the two groups are quite neatly the
Taylor Series for cos and sin
A Circle!
Yes, putting Euler's Formula on that graph produces a circle:
It is Another Form
It is basically another way of having a complex number.
This turns out to very useful, as there are many cases (such as
multiplication) where it is easier to use the reix form rather than
the a+bi form.
Plotting eiπ
Lastly, when we calculate Euler's Formula for x = π we get:
eiπ + 1 = 0
The famous Euler's Identity.
Euler’s Formula had a great impact on the branch of Quantum Mechanics under the field of
Physics.
