The formula eix = Cos(x) + i*sin(x) where x is measured in radians.
When x = pi, this gives eiπ + 1 = 0
That equation contains, in such a few symbols, the two most basic numbers: the identity elements of addition (0) and multiplication (1), and the two most important constants in higher mathematics: pi and e.
The Nobel laureate physicist, Richard Feynman called Euler's formula "our jewel" and "one of the most remarkable, almost astounding, formulas in all of mathematics."
It is certainly my all time favourite!

Euler is one of the most famous mathematicians of all time and he contributed a huge amount to maths. He is most famous for Euler's equation which unites 5 of the fundamental numbers in maths: e, i, pi, 1 and 0. It looks like this: e^(i*pi)+1=0
Leonhard Euler made many contributions to math but the one thing he is most famous for is changing the base of the natural logarithim by using the letter e which is aka Euler's number
he was a mathematition
One famous scientist in the field of fluid mechanics is Leonhard Euler. He is known for his contributions to the Euler equations, which describe the motion of fluids and are essential in the study of fluid dynamics and aerodynamics.
mostly because of his history
Among the most famous will be1. Euler 2. Gauss3. Newton4. Hilbert5. ArchimedesOf course there are many many more but just about every mathematician alive today will agree that Euler and Gauss will be in their personal top 5 list.
Calculus and Graph Theory.
Those are two famous mathematicians.
Leonhard Euler was of Swiss decent. He was born and raised around Basel, Switzerland. Euler lived most of his life in Switzerland and Russia with some time in Prussia.
Euler's formula is important because it relates famous constants, such as pi, zero, Euler's number 'e', and an imaginary number 'i' in one equation. The formula is (e raised to the i times pi) plus 1 equals 0.
Leonhard Euler, the famous mathematician, died on September 18, 1783 at the age of 76 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He was born in Basel, Switzerland on April 15, 1707.
