Euler's Equation: e^iθ = cos θ + i sin θ

"Gentlemen, that is surely true, it is absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it, and we don't know what it means. But we have proved it, and therefore we know it must be the truth."
-Benjamin Pierce

An intuitive understanding of Euler's formula remains elusive, notwithstanding hundreds of years of contemplation.
-Scott E. Brodie

"Like a Shakespearean sonnet that captures the very essence of love, or a painting that brings out the beauty of the human form that is far more than just skin deep, Euler's Equation reaches down into the very depths of existence."
-Keith Devlin
