My favorite equation of all time, for all time, at all times, is the one which relates five fundamental mathematical constants using addition, multiplication, and exponentiation.

0: the additive identity element
1: the multiplicative identity element
e: the natural base
pi: the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter
i: the square root of negative one


e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0


I wish I could do superscripts properly using vBulletin.



My second favorite equation is actually just an approximation: 1 foot ≈ 1 nanosecond
