    I have seen and used the constant "e" in the study of calculus, complex numbers, infinite series, natural logarithms etc, but no one explained what the number is. This is the simplest explanation I have seen. It takes a special kind of a skill to correctly explain a complex concept in simple terms. Thanks Mark Newman.

      It was Descartes that called them "imaginary numbers". An unfortunate name. Perhaps he might have done better to call them lateral numbers or something that intimidated the idea of their working in more than one dimension. That might have made them easier to understand.

    To me what is beautiful is that you have a number with infinite and random digits that is related to exponencial growth/decay, then you raise it to the power of a number that we find impossible to solve and so we call it imaginary, and to another number with infinite and random digits that is related to circles and it's geometry, and then you add a single unit, probably the most basic number that we know, to all of this only to get what we call "nothing"

    you can consider e^ix to be (e^i)^x. then imagine e^I , (e^i)^2 , (e^i)^3 ... as a special case of a spiral on the complex plane
    that stays on the unit circle and advances 1 radian (57 degrees) each time
    similar to (1+i)^1 which is 2^.5 long and pointing at 45degrees. then (1+i)^2 = 2 units long at 90degrees = 2i
    which is 2*( cos(90)+I sin(90)) and (1+i)^3 is (2^.5)^3 long at 135degrees etc.

    @lylecosmopolite 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Euler was perhaps the most productive mathematician of all time. The number e is named in his honour. It is to Euler that we owe much of our basic understanding of infinite series and complex analysis. But Euler had a weird flaw -- his proofs always fell well short of the standard laid down by Cauchy, Riemann and Weierstrass, and often were wrong even by the relaxed standards of the 18th century. But no result ever published by Euler was ever shown subsequently to be wrong. Everything he claimed to be a theorem in fact was, even though his proofs were never rigorous and were often downright wrong. Euler was perhaps the most spectacular example of history of mathematical intuition.
    Euler derived his eponymous identity using the infinite series for e^x, and his proof was largely correct.

      I SO know what you mean. For years this stuff was incomprehensible to me. Then I got this project at work (I'm an electronics engineer) which was all to do with complex impedences and all things "imaginary" that I HAD to understand in order to get the job done and finally, after much research, I got that Eureka moment that I am so happy to have helped you arrive at as well, where everything just fell into place.
      Then I really wanted to make sure I understood it properly and the best way to do that is to try and teach it.
      I am now busy working on more stuff as we speak which I shall be putting into an online video course about the Fourier Transform. I have published my research notes for the course at: www.themobilestudio.net/the-fourier-transform-part-1.
      I'm posting progress reports on the course on a Facebook page facebook.com/TheFourierTransform/ which includes snippets from some of the videos that will be in the course.
      I'm just putting the finishing touches to the video on "phase" and will post an extract from it on the facebook page (and probably here on my channel too) during the next week or so, so please stay tuned.
      Thanks so much for your comment.

      @@MarkNewmanEducation - good post - i might be imaginary but it gives you real results
      when you play with complex numbers & impedance's in electronics.
      It's all to to do with time - relating one voltage to another by a phase difference.
      When you do Fourier analysis you don't only get the amplitudes of the various harmonics you get the phase differences coming out of the equations.
      It's about time domain & frequency domain.
      We couldn't calculate anything much with using i.
      It is very powerful mathematics.

    e^x and cos(x) + sin(x) share similar pattern, but different signs.
    e^ix turns the signs same with that of cos(x) + sin(x), but i is now newly added, so have to multiply i to sin(x) to make them equal.
    We have 1. e^ix = cos(x) + (i) sin(x)
    Known that cos(pi) = -1. As there is imaginary number, we have to make sin(x) to 0, known that sin(pi)=0
    So 2. e^ipi = cos(pi) + (i) sin(pi) = -1
    3. e^ipi + 1 = 0
    That’s amazing!

    Really well-done video! Thank you for making and sharing it! The only point that I wish would've been more explicitly made is that i is not a made-up number. It wasn't "invented" to conveniently fill in some pesky unsolved math equations. It's the missing piece of a puzzle that took humanity a long time to discover - that, in fact, all numbers are two-dimensional complex numbers (x + iy). It's just that nearly all of the numbers that we deal with in day-to-day life in our three-dimensional geometric world have no lateral (iy) components.
