Euler's identity

e^{i \pi} + 1 = 0, \,\!
Only in Mathematics will such beauty exist.

The three basic arithmetic operations addition, exponential, multiplication occurs once and only once.

The five fundamental mathematical constants: 1, 0, Pi, e, i.

All in 1 equation.

most beautiful theorem in mathematics
the gold standard for mathematical beauty

Gauss: "If this formula was not immediately apparent to a student on being told it, the student would never be a first-class mathematician."

Keith Devlin: "Like a Shakespearean sonnet that captures the very essence of love, or a painting that brings out the beauty of the human form that is far more than just skin deep, Euler's equation reaches down into the very depths of existence."
