e^(iπ) in 3.14 minutes, using dynamics | DE5

Grant Sanderson explains Euler's formula by treating velocity as a rotating vector to build geometric intuition for complex exponents.

Special thanks to these supporters: 3blue1brown.com Not familiar with the calculus referenced in this video? Try taking a look at this one: youtu.be/m2MIpDrF7Es Another perspective on this formula, from Mathologer: youtu.be/-dhHrg-KbJ0 Another perspective from this channel: youtu.be/mvmuCPvRoWQ And yet another from the blog Better Explained: betterexplained.com/articles/intuitive-understanding-of-eule… I'm not sure where the perspective shown in this video originates. I do know you can find it in Tristan Needham's excellent book "Visual Complex Analysis", but if anyone has a sense of the first occurrence of this intuition do feel free to share. It's simple and natural enough, though, that it's probably a view which has been independently thought up many times over. Thanks to these viewers for their contributions to translations Hebrew: Omer Tuchfeld Vietnamese: @ngvutuan2811 ------------------ These animations are largely made using manim, a scrappy open source python library: github.com/3b1b/manim If you want to check it out, I feel compelled to warn you that it's not the most well-documented tool, and it has many other quirks you might expect in a library someone wrote with only their own use in mind.
