So that's how he does it ... e^(Pi * i)+1=0! It all makes sense now!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Po-Shen was an unbelievable prodigy at such an early age and has often featured on the Numberphile channel.

Fascinating formula though, I always wondered what the probability was of spilling my chocolates and not getting them back into the right place in the box...now I know !

As for Euler, he still exists...he can be seen trading most days on the Exchange...except Sundays :lol: :D

I'm sure when I was at school the square root of 4 was 2j, now j's become i.

was always "i" for me ... maybe your arm slipped when making your note! :) and there are two square roots of 4 ... 2 and 2i. Not sure what happens if you want the square root of 4i! It was a long time ago! :)

Don't you think I've aged well?

Never understood why anyone would want to work out the square root of a room that doesn't exist, of -20 square metres, just to know how much skirting board they don't need. :)
