This one is very interesting, but the fact that Pi was a poor choice for the constant makes the equation considerably more ugly than it should be. There is a growing movement to usurp the number Pi with the much more important constant "2*Pi" (see: http://www.math.utah.edu/~palais/pi.html ). If we call that new number tau (t). Then Euler's identity becomes: e^(t * i) = 1 Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
