What people have to understand is how brilliant these guys were. They had no internet, few if any textbooks. They had to reason things from first principles, so much original. Just stunning
They _wrote_ the textbooks & had them published; they published papers in mathematical journals, of which they had several; and some of them maintained extensive connections through personal letters.
This is what I think ,we could also have been smart if we had no tv (in my childhood upto 6th) as I spent my childhood in watching tv and no critical thinking of sciences ,so I end up just learning what others had done but I started in 10th class inventing techniques to solve maths but it was too late
It is over 20 years since I studied the maths of Euler but this is by far the best explanation I have ever seen. I wish I had seen this video back then. Students of today have it a lot easily than years ago, when you were expected to just get it!
This is why I made the video. I was also just expected to know it and it frustrated me that I didn't. This video is part of a whole series on the Fourier Transform which I made for the same reason: howthefouriertransformworks.com/
@@MarkNewmanEducation Thank you for the link and the video here for Eulers. Definitely makes more sense this way than the way my physics teacher tried to explain to us back in the day.
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.

My first ever comment in 10+ years of watching TH-cam. Mark, you nailed it! This video has me feeling ecstatic. You have shown me the connection between sin, cos, i, e, and π as presented in Euler's famous identity. This reveals the deep foundation that underlies all of classical math and ties everything together. Now I have seen the light! Thank you so much.
Amazing. So happy to have helped and thank you for making my video the first video you commented on in a long time. Any suggestions for future videos you would like to see would be gratefully received.
+Niespotykanie Spokojny Rowerzysta haha... Apparently, I might have been wrong in stating that it was Euler who gave e the name Euler's number. It seems to be that the name was coined later although exactly when and by who, I don't know. Euler probably used the symbol e simply to denote "exponent".
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 should also highlight how euler's identity is nicely shown with multiplication of complex numbers as vectors around a circle plot on the imaginary plane. And how to maintain symmetrical values working out the power spectrum density in FFT.
I just want to say, there's so much efforts in making this video and I appreciate it. From animations to sound effects to historical facts and figures .. this is so much works.
For a long time 0 didn't exist, and some people who stupidly claimed that nothing existed had their heads bobbed. Now imagine imaginary numbers. That was like claiming the earth wasn't flat.
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.
I'll let you into a secret. As a student I didn't understand it either. I just had to accept it. It wasn't until years later when I had to work with it that I found out what the link was when I had to research it for my work. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I watched this video awhile back and did not comment. It occurred to me that this presentation helped me to connect a couple of dots which enhanced my understanding. I actually had to spend a bit of time to find this video again but I felt the need to say thank you for your time and for the explanation.
Aside the brilliant minds behind the formula, your presentation is also "beautiful" and very structured. No wonder, it is almost 2 in the morning and am wide awake!
I don't believe Euler named the number after his own name. From what I know Euler was a very modest man, he instead named the number e because it was the next available letter that was not already taken. Listen to the podcast of 'In Our Times' discussing this number.
I saw various equations named Euler's method or formula, I was so confused about what Euler's formula is. This is the best video I found to clear up my confusion. Thank you very much!
Mark Newman -- wow! Sorry I missed the release of this video almost 4 years go. Beautiful! This is a stunning exposition of an often spoke wonder I had never grasped. Your explanation left me gobsmacked twice. Holy cats man -- great! I will share this unfolding to help my students understand - and point them to this video. Can't wait for more! Extremely well done.
It also links exponents, zero, addition, equality, the identity element under multiplication, and when expanded, trigonometry, division, factorials, and infinite series.
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.
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.

@@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.

Hey, I just want to let you know that I liked the cute visuals and the explanations, they really made it easy to understand how truly wonderful that identity is! I also liked how your tone of voice wasn't too demeaning but in a gentle explanatory way conveying the ideas and concepts :)
A lot of people seem to think that math is boring, but for me personally, studying mathematics has been like discovering a hidden cave full of beautiful treasures.
I think that the problem is the way that maths is taught, and that it is treated as a totally abstract concept with no relation to the real world when in fact it describes the real world with precise beauty.
An absolutely wonderful wonderful "experience". Like a time-capsule back to math classes when everything was proved. All that is missing is the smell of chalk dust! Thank You Mark.
Best explanation i've ever yet encountered. Thanks, man. Also, because of this video i understood "Thermodynamic absolute temperature"...It's because the universe gets cooler and cooler for long periods of time but it can only get cooler upto euler's 2.718...In Kelvin.
Holy ****, how did I not known this. Absolute zero is like -273 C (more or less) or 0 K, the temprature where molecular movement is no longer found to create 'heat'. This acctually gave me a moment of realisation. If I had to guesse I´l probably see this in one of my classes in the future, cause I just started my first year of engineering science.

your video is as beautiful as the identity of Euler. It is nicely clear and well explained!! your efforts in preparing this video is very grateful. Thanks very much. Thus, I subscribe, like and share. Good lucks.
Beautiful! Inexpressibly and inexhaustible beautiful! Astoundingly and undeniably wondrous! Didn't understand a single, solitary syllable he said but I want to. Time to get back to learning math
Ha ha... it's a one man show. I'm doing everything, so some things are better than others. Also the Chroma-key can be a little clunky in places, but I am learning as I go. I sometimes look back at my older videos, like this one, and I think.... oooh I could have done that beter. But so long as the explanation is clear, that is the main thing.
Truly BRILLIANT expositon!! The introductory theory & linkages to the Trigonometric Series were so cleverly explained, that I think even an average Math student would find the topic both fascinating & understandable. I also noted the emphasis on demonstrative exposition with the aids of Graphs, etc. Please keep up the great work & tutorials....a new subscriber!
WOW! I've watched so many videos & asked so many math guys to explain this concept to me & just never clicked, but something about this video, I finally get it now!
So beautiful that the simple identity e^(pi*i)+1=0 can link together the most important mathematical concepts (0, 1, i, e, pi) using the most fundamental mathematical operations (equality, addition, multiplication, exponentiation)!
This is really amazing!! Sir, I would like to thank you for rekindling and making the beauty of intuition work so well. I chose mathematics in my high school years because I was interested in it but just being told to cram formulae and pressurized to just score good grades deteriorated my interest but videos like these is what will keep me going so thank you.
“I used to think math was no fun ‘Cause I didn’t know how it was done But Euler’s my hero ‘Cause I now know that zero Equals e to the j pi plus 1” - Paul J. Nihan
The beauty of the formula is that it says so much in so little space and in a simple and elegant way. That's what good literature or well written instructions ought to be. Say it simply.
thanks Mark. Beautiful explanation. I would only add at the end, along with 1: e, 2: pi, 3: sin, cos, 4: i a 5th concept: the concept of 0 which is another great math concept.
A question: What is the volume (in centimeter cube) of a pizza with radius of "Z" cetimeters, and high of "A" centimeters? Answer: PI*Z*Z*A centimeters cube!!
+Kiran Sonawane thanks. I've always found maths SO hard. Once I understand something, it feels like a huge achievement. I find the best way to understand a subject is to try and teach it.
Great Video. You might as well add that this is the only equation that connects all the important mathematical constants - e, pi, i, unity (1) and zero.
Wonderful explanation. I could have used this a few decades ago during my first class in Quantum Physics, when the professor wrote out Euler's Formula without any explanation. I couldn't understand how raising a number to a constant could create cosine and sine functions.
12:52 With all due respect, the list is is rather: e, i, pi, 1 and 0 (ALL constants, and not cosine and sine, which are mere functions). That is: e, Euler's constant i, imaginary unit pi, universal constant 1, neutral term for multiplication 0, neutral term for addition So, Euler's identity is a bridge between all universal constants.
@@nomos8063 Yes, you may put this way too, but actually it's +1 and 0, which leads to this beautiful formula. Once again, a relationship between all universal constants (no trig functions or any other function involved whatsoever).
I'm not a mathematician or even particularly good at math but that is amazing. I've seen that identity many times but never knew where it came from, and never imagined I could understand it if it was explained. But it is simple which makes it even more beauriful.
Simple, lucid explanation that went clear over my head. I usually get mental pictures when I comprehend mathematical stuff...today nothing, not one thing. Oh well, haven't died yet, might still be time. Maybe as I die I'll sit up in bed shouting "I get it!"... Leave them all wondering. Maybe I'll do that just to mess with people...yeah...I like that. "I JUST FIGURED OUT THE MYSTERY OF LIFE! IT'S..." Klunk.

Hey, I just want to let you know that I liked the cute visuals and the explanations, they really made it easy to understand how truly wonderful that identity is! I also liked how your tone of voice wasn't too demeaning but in a gentle explanatory way conveying the ideas and concepts :)
Awesome, thank you!
A lot of people seem to think that math is boring, but for me personally, studying mathematics has been like discovering a hidden cave full of beautiful treasures.
Likewise
I think that the problem is the way that maths is taught, and that it is treated as a totally abstract concept with no relation to the real world when in fact it describes the real world with precise beauty.
@@MarkNewmanEducation You hit the nail on the head
brilliant, thank you Sir... i was "taught" this badly over 30 years ago... i get it perfectly now...
this is the best explanation I've seen so far :)))
That's very kind of you to say so.
Sacred Sanctuary i share the same opinion with you 😃
Yes, a very good explanation. I finally understand Euler's Identity, huge revelation, thanks.
Maybe that's because you limit yourself to 'religious' sources..
Agree!
I agree that the Euler's identity is beautiful but so was this vid. Hard work went into this!
+screenflicker1 thank you. I really enjoyed every moment of it.
WOW. Just discovered you through this video. You are a fantastic teacher of mathematical concepts. Thank you.
An absolutely wonderful wonderful "experience". Like a time-capsule back to math classes when everything was proved. All that is missing is the smell of chalk dust! Thank You Mark.
Best explanation i've ever yet encountered. Thanks, man.
Also, because of this video i understood "Thermodynamic absolute temperature"...It's because the universe gets cooler and cooler for long periods of time but it can only get cooler upto euler's 2.718...In Kelvin.
Holy ****, how did I not known this. Absolute zero is like -273 C (more or less) or 0 K, the temprature where molecular movement is no longer found to create 'heat'. This acctually gave me a moment of realisation. If I had to guesse I´l probably see this in one of my classes in the future, cause I just started my first year of engineering science.
8:10 "The brilliant thing about mathematicians is that . . . when they are on their way to some wonderful mathematical discovery, they don't let a little thing like "Numbers NOT EXISTING" stop them." Is it safe to say HERO ?

Thank u for this post friend....I intend to check these relationships out!
@@MadScientyst 👍👍
Apparently a higher authority uses the metric system.
your video is as beautiful as the identity of Euler. It is nicely clear and well explained!!
your efforts in preparing this video is very grateful. Thanks very much.
Thus, I subscribe, like and share. Good lucks.
most beautiful explanation ever, i've learned more here than college ever, wish all lectures were like this
Wow, thank you!
This is the best video on the euilers identity
Beautiful! Inexpressibly and inexhaustible beautiful! Astoundingly and undeniably wondrous! Didn't understand a single, solitary syllable he said but I want to. Time to get back to learning math
I have to admit that even your animations are not the best out there but the explanation is the best that I have seen so far
Ha ha... it's a one man show. I'm doing everything, so some things are better than others. Also the Chroma-key can be a little clunky in places, but I am learning as I go. I sometimes look back at my older videos, like this one, and I think.... oooh I could have done that beter. But so long as the explanation is clear, that is the main thing.
This was the most beautiful explanation of the most beautiful identity.
e^(i*pi) means you have rotated the complex number 0+i to 180 degrees. Because in polar form it is written as cos(pi) + isin(pi) and it is -1 :)
The best explanation of Eulers identity.
Such astounding good production quality. Thank you Sir!
ok boomer
Thank you. I love going this and keep having hugely over-complicated ideas, which is probably why these videos take me so long to produce.
Clever and clear explanation of the formula makes this video a good one :)
Truly BRILLIANT expositon!! The introductory theory & linkages to the Trigonometric Series were so cleverly explained, that I think even an average Math student would find the topic both fascinating & understandable. I also noted the emphasis on demonstrative exposition with the aids of Graphs, etc.
Please keep up the great work & tutorials....a new subscriber!
One of the best videos on youtube
Sometimes I wonder if the internet made us numb.. Back in the day you were kind of 'forced' to think. Just look at this absolute beauty.
This is the best explanation I ever had except that one explanation when I was in 4th standard.
WOW! I've watched so many videos & asked so many math guys to explain this concept to me & just never clicked, but something about this video, I finally get it now!
Glad it helped!
this explanation much better than other videos that try to explain euler's identity by rotations
It all makes so much more sense now. Thanks :D
This is Excellent! Very well explained and illustrated! ❤ 😊
So beautiful that the simple identity e^(pi*i)+1=0 can link together the most important mathematical concepts (0, 1, i, e, pi) using the most fundamental mathematical operations (equality, addition, multiplication, exponentiation)!
Equality is not an operation
This is really amazing!! Sir, I would like to thank you for rekindling and making the beauty of intuition work so well. I chose mathematics in my high school years because I was interested in it but just being told to cram formulae and pressurized to just score good grades deteriorated my interest but videos like these is what will keep me going so thank you.
A very nice,clear and comprehensive video. Thanks for the preparation and share👏👏👏
This video really made me understand how beautiful Euler's identity is
“I used to think math was no fun
‘Cause I didn’t know how it was done
But Euler’s my hero
‘Cause I now know that zero
Equals e to the j pi plus 1”
- Paul J. Nihan
You must be an electrical engineer since you used j instead of i to represent the square root of negative one.
It was Paul J. Nihan
Equals e to the j pi plus 1
My name is Paul J. Nihan
Also rhymes
If Paul had not been an electrical engineer, his name would have been
Paul e. Nihan
this explanation is insane, even a grade 9 student can understand.
The beauty of the formula is that it says so much in so little space and in a simple and elegant way. That's what good literature or well written instructions ought to be. Say it simply.
Wow! I just understood so much I never got before. Thank you mate!
Well done
Wow! Simple explanation, need more videos of same kind .
Beautifully explained, thank you.
Wow!!! Divinely beautiful explanation...thank you so much
omg i've been looking for a video that explains what all these terms mean for so long. thank you for your elegant teaching!
thanks Mark. Beautiful explanation. I would only add at the end, along with 1: e, 2: pi, 3: sin, cos, 4: i a 5th concept: the concept of 0 which is another great math concept.
Oh yes, of course. Thanks.
Take 1 to the other side and there is no zero but a negative number (another concept?).
Wonderful video! Amazing teaching style. Engaging and comprehensible. I wish you taught every subject, I think I would have done better in school.
A question:
What is the volume (in centimeter cube) of a pizza with radius of "Z" cetimeters, and high of "A" centimeters?
Answer:
PI*Z*Z*A centimeters cube!!
It was the best description I have ever heard
That's why I love maths
+Kiran Sonawane thanks. I've always found maths SO hard. Once I understand something, it feels like a huge achievement. I find the best way to understand a subject is to try and teach it.
That's really a big achievement Mark
That's so awesome
That's really a big achievement Mark Sir

I've got so interested. I want so many videos and knowings about mathematics like this
Offc 🌸 it's beautiful the two fundamental constants e and π comes in a equation along with an imaginary number
Yes, they are beautiful, and you explain them beatiful.
Most beautifully presented!!!
Great Video. You might as well add that this is the only equation that connects all the important mathematical constants - e, pi, i, unity (1) and zero.
Wonderful explanation. I could have used this a few decades ago during my first class in Quantum Physics, when the professor wrote out Euler's Formula without any explanation. I couldn't understand how raising a number to a constant could create cosine and sine functions.
I don't say this to every explainer or professor or technologist but I think it's suits you well. "You are real intelligent"
The formula IS a wonderful solution. The 4 concepts are combined all together and zero is appearing. That is Amazing, that is elegant, that is math.
12:52 With all due respect, the list is is rather: e, i, pi, 1 and 0 (ALL constants, and not cosine and sine, which are mere functions). That is:
e, Euler's constant
i, imaginary unit
pi, universal constant
1, neutral term for multiplication
0, neutral term for addition
So, Euler's identity is a bridge between all universal constants.
Yes, while he alluded to it being a special case through pi it probably should have emphasized that it is about cosine(pi) and sine(pi) i.e. -1 and 0?
@@nomos8063 Yes, you may put this way too, but actually it's +1 and 0, which leads to this beautiful formula. Once again, a relationship between all universal constants (no trig functions or any other function involved whatsoever).
Makes sense
Thank you! I was frustrated because most videos did not show why e^ix = cos(x) + i sin(x), this made it very clear.
This is basically a mix of all we learn in highschool but in one single calculation, absolutely madness bro
I'm not a mathematician or even particularly good at math but that is amazing. I've seen that identity many times but never knew where it came from, and never imagined I could understand it if it was explained. But it is simple which makes it even more beauriful.
It comes from Maclaurin series expansion of functions e^x, sin(x) and cos(x) followed by e^(ix)=cos x + i*sin x, where i=sqrt(-1)
Simple, lucid explanation that went clear over my head. I usually get mental pictures when I comprehend mathematical stuff...today nothing, not one thing. Oh well, haven't died yet, might still be time. Maybe as I die I'll sit up in bed shouting "I get it!"... Leave them all wondering. Maybe I'll do that just to mess with people...yeah...I like that. "I JUST FIGURED OUT THE MYSTERY OF LIFE! IT'S..." Klunk.
I think this is the only guy that ever clearly explained Euler's identity on youtube that I could actually understand. wow.
@@jacksmetana7932 then what did he spend 14 minutes doing?
Простое и наглядное объяснение. Спасибо!
