Is there any kind of graphical representation of the world-famous formula of e^pi i equals to -1?
I don't think so....unless you use the imaginary plane which would be too complicated.
Is there any kind of graphical representation of the world-famous formula of e^pi i equals to -1?
eiθ=cosθ+isinθ
sometimes it is called cisθ
so
Here is a general picture (not for pi radians BUT the angle must be measured int radians)
This is referred to as the unit circle on a complex grid.. The centre is (0,0) and the radius is 1 unit.
The horizontal unit is real
and the vertical unit is imaginary
so if theta = pi radians
Look here if you would like to work through a little more cool mathemathics :)

This animated graphic is my favorite.
This gives an idea of the light and shadow and the knowledge and imagination of the science and mathematics that is Euler.
Thanks Ginger,
Graphics are fun. :)
I was looking for an interactive graphic that I have seen and probably used before in mathsisfun. I found some related interactive graphics, but not the one I was looking for. It is a little frustrating when this happens.
I probably should look in my old information threads, I may have stored the address there, ...
Ah ha I found the site I was looking for!!

The height which is red is the sine value - it is also the y value on the unit circle
This is becasue
sinθ=opphyp=y1=y
The horizontal distance is cosine theta - it is the x valuc of any point on the unit circle
Because
cosθ=adjhyp=x1=x
So any (x,y) point on this unit circle is given by (cosθ,sinθ)
