e^(i*pi)

FlashStinger should be banned from CT

MIT was too depressing and brick and scary, so I didn't go there.. I also loved how sterotypical it was that a white man and an asian woman were having a jewish wedding outside when I went to visit it back in the day

I should be banned from CT? on what grounds......
I am not claiming to be a hacker or cracker of any sorts and sorry if i stepped on your toes about some things, but as I recall this is a forum based on thinking critically and I have thought about my comments. I also in no way claim to be in any way smarter than a man or woman who can get into MIT. Heck, I'm just a highschool student in a school possibly losing it's acreditation so don't take many of my responses on Calc III that seriously. Sure I understand e^(i*π) but that doesn't mean much.

I think what bigsleytheoaf was referring to are "wannabes". However, I don't think that was appropiate for this thread bigsley. I think everyone in here was just excited about what they know and felt good about it, especially since many who did are quite young. I can see your point, but it wasn't needed for this thread.

Since I'm insane enough to return to the original purpose of this thread, I'll offer an alternative "proof." (Note that y' = dy/dx).

y = cos(x) + isin(x)
y' = -sin(x) + icos(x)
y' = i(isin(x) + cos(x))
y' = iy
y'/y = i
ln(y) = ix
y = e^(ix)

e^(ix) = cos(x) + isin(x)

Plug in pi for x and you get your little -1 bit.

*Hopes that anyone who knows better will conveniently ignore my exclusion of an integration constant.*

ok, I'd just like to make the point that bigsley (1) posted all about his MIT math major in one of his first 9 posts (2) is a member of FFR (3) is a MATH MAJOR (4) brags about this on the internet.

I'm willing to bet that at least one of the following is true.
- his rich parents pay for his amazing education
- he lacks social skills
- he's arrogant in real life too, though too timid to show it outwardly (which, admittedly, is probably a good thing)
- is arguing for the sake of being different
