Comment on Understanding the most beautiful equation in Mathematics

Comments

Personally, I prefer

e ^ i*tau = 1

But that's because I'm a tauist.

The advantage of the traditional format is that it not only includes four fundamental constants (1, 0, e, i and π) but it also includes the four fundamental operators (addition, multiplication, exponential and equality.)

I guess that: e ^ i*tau + 0 = 1

would be a suitable hack to get that beauty back.

Haha, fundamental constant counting fail.

Well, these are the four constants: 0, 1, i, e and tau. Yes, that really is four constants.
