Euler's identity is said to be the most beautiful theorem in mathematics.

"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


(Music: James Horner - A Kaleidoscope of Mathematics)

  • I disliked the quote by Gauss essentially saying "if you didn't get this at first, you can never be the best" - but the rest was wonderful.

    In my view a first-class student will vigorously pursue what they don't understand - regardless of their initial intuition.

  • @plasticspastic201 "electromagnets was around a long time before maths"

    Hans Christian Oersted first demonstrated that electromagnets could be made in 1820. Math didn't exist before 1820. I don't want to live on this planet anymore

  • i dont see the beauty ...

  • @cynicalbluewhale How many formulas were used to create Windows? How about MS office or my email client?

    High level math is most certainly not a requirement to build 'real' software products. Take a look through the iphone app store and count how many would've needed high level math. Go ahead and call them 'useless' applications but they're what real people use.

    Don't get me wrong I love math and it can be very useful in software. Just not as important as you say it is.
