Infinite series for eix , Cos x and  Sin x

From the binomial expansion of (1+x/n)n and finding the limit of the infinite series, as n->infinity, we get 

the infinite series for 

       ex = 

Substitute ix->x   

to get the Infinite series for 

eix =  

Remember the powers of i: i0 = 1, i1 = i, i2 = -1, i3 = -i, i4 = 1, ... and look for patterns!

 eix =

Factor out the i, and separate the real terms from the imaginary terms,

eix =

So

eix =

The infinite series for cos x is

The infinite series for sin x is

Substituting cos x and sin x in eix  above, we get

  eix =  cos x + i*sin x 

where x is an angle in radians

From this we can get eiPi  = cos Pi  + i* sin Pi = -1 + 0 = -1 and  

ei*Pi +  1 = 0

again the 5 most important numbers in mathematics in 1 statement!
