For math geeks

e^j*pi + 1 = 0

That just really rocks. Eat it, those of you who don't dig it.

it says that eating pie makes one round?

Eating imaginary pie, plus one, leaves you with nothing. A heartbreaking story.

sorry. IBTL!

(Thanks for the setup) :P

Some of us (yourself included apparently) actually have to use it.

Seriously, that makes Euler's identity more apparent and intuitive than anything I've seen before.

what with your use of j instead of i to represent the imaginary number. (We EE's use i to represent current.)

Though I was a math undergrad. I actually got some points in linear circuitry for being able to show Euler's identity from Fourier expansions.

It's i, dammit, not j!

Okay, mathematicians line up here, electrical engineers over there. It's knife-fightin' time!

Electrical engineers rule. :evilgrin:






:hide:

e^i*pi = -1

Even beautifuler.

:hi:

:wow:

Because it uses the three most important operations in mathematics (exponentiation, addition, and multiplication), and the most important predicate (equality), to link the five most important numbers.

I'll wait for the hybrid version.

OK, I admit that was bad...

:rofl:

EEs fucking ROCK!

A mathematician, a physicist, and an electrical engineer are each trying to determine if all odd numbers greater than 2 are prime.

The mathematician says,
"3 is odd and prime,
5 is odd and prime,
7 is odd and prime,
9 is odd but not prime. Theorem disproved."

The physicist says,
"3 is odd and prime,
5 is odd and prime,
7 is odd and prime,
9 is odd but not prime, but that's probably due to round-off error. We will continue on and see what happens.
11 is odd and prime,
13 is odd and prime,
15 is odd but not prime. Well, it could be some sort of statistical variance so we will continue on and see what happens.
17 is odd and prime,
19 is odd and prime.
Well, of the first nine observations 7 support the theorem so we can say the theorem is probably true."

The electrical engineer says,
"3 is odd and prime,
5 is odd and prime,
7 is odd and prime,
9 is odd and prime,
11 is odd and prime,
13 is odd and prime,
15 is odd and prime..."
