The exponential function is a miracle
This is such a weird thread. There are a bunch of people arguing about why their favorite math thing is more a miracle than someone else's favorite math thing.<p>Nothing is surprising if you've seen it before. Let's just let each other be excited about our favorite math, okay?<p>Euler's identity is the one that gets me:<p><pre><code>    e^(i * pi) + 1 = 0
</code></pre>
How can this be? The five fundamental constants are related!
