I don't want to start an argument about tau versus pi, but I like a tau form (or modification) of Eulor's Identy: [e^(ikτ) = 1] for all integer values of [k]. This gets across rather well that this formula expresses a complete turn around a unit circle. You can't get something quite equivalent using pi. I even more prefer the full form of Euler's Formula: [e^(ix) = cos(x) + isin(x)]. The real beauty of Euler's Formula I think is that it shows an equivalence between an algebraic function and a trigonometric function. (Note that I'm only a mildly learned laymen when it comes to mathematics. Any experts in math should feel very free to tell me why I'm wrong.) |
