e^(pi*i)+1=0

I have no idea what it means, (and I’m pretty sure no one else does, either) but it is the most profound thing that I’ve ever seen

Comes from

${{e}^{i\theta }}=\cos (\theta )+i\sin (\theta )$
and
${{e}^{z}}=1+\tfrac{z}{1!}+\tfrac{{{z}^{2}}}{2!}+\cdots$

Is a poetic way of relating the important numbers of math, pi, e, i, 1, and 0.

e^(pi*i)+1=0
