My (and Euler's) favorite formula is
i(pi)
e +1=0
This equation (which includes the 3 basic operations, exponentation, multiplication, and addition, and also 5 big constants, e, i, pi, 1, adn 0) is gotten from the identity
ix
e =cos(x)+sin(x)i
By the way, complex numbers can be written in polar form using
i(theta)
re =r<
