==Euler's Identity==
 +
The formula can be used to derive an equation known as Euler's identity:
 +
 
 +
:<math>e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0 \!</math>
 +
 
 +
'''''This is called the most beautiful equation in all of mathematics''''', because it equates the five most common mathematical constants in a perfectly elegant manner.
