I got this yesterday. It is a crappy picture from a crappy webcam:



It's Euler's Identity: e^(j*pi) + 1 = 0 , which I just think is neat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_Identity

I want others. I want to get the patch for the 76th Independent Battalion on one of my upper arms, and I want some sort of band to go all the way around one of my limbs that incorporates both of my sons' names. I also have a 10g bar through my tongue that I have had for 6 years now, and I had a lip ring, but it healed up too quickly after taking it out one summer.

'cause the Roman Gods up to that point were crap. Jeff, the god of biscuits, and Simon, the god of hair-dos.

I don't have pics handy, (someone stole my digicam), but here's a list of what I have:

1. Serenity (the ship) with the word Browncoat under it
2. The word "Slayer" with a wooden stake in the background
3. The Angel Investigations logo (Is that a lobster? lol)
4. Gally from "Battle Angel" (An AMAZING anime movie soon to be a live action piece of crap by James Cameron)
5. Kodamas from "Princess Mononoke" (Another anime thing - tree spirits)
6. A cartoony Nosferatu
7. A fairy with butterfly wings (my 1st)
8. A Chinese dragon (Me and everyone else!)
9. The AURON from "The Neverending Story" (The book version, the one that says "Do What You Wish")
10. A dagger
11. A kinda evil looking seahorse
12. "Ka" with Arthur Eld's symbol (It means fate) from Stephen King's Dark Tower series
13. The X-men "X"
14. The Trojan SHARP logo (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice) with the words "Though it starts with your fist, It ends with your mind"
15. Full back - Angel wings with bloody dripping tips

***Never judge a book by its movie***

Cool tattoo, but where are all the barriers for sanitation? You gotta be careful!

RIMG--

Sorry, I went to wikipedia, and read the article, and I'm more clueless now than when I started (though I don't suppose that's overly surprising). What in the hell is that equation?

The equation has various uses as an identity, but its most important characteristic is its mathematical beauty. Not just beauty, but sexiness. Basically, to us mathematicians, looking at it is all the foreplay we need.

Here's a quote from the Wiki article:

Quote:

Three basic arithmetic functions are present exactly once: addition, multiplication, and exponentiation. As well, the identity links five fundamental mathematical constants:

* The number 0.
* The number 1.
* The number π, which is ubiquitous in trigonometry, Euclidean geometry, and mathematical analysis.
* The number e, the base of natural logarithms, which occurs widely in mathematical analysis.
* The number i, imaginary unit of the complex numbers, which contain the roots of all nonconstant polynomials and lead to deeper insight into many operators, such as integration.

See what I mean? How is that not sexy!? Who needs Angelina Jolie when one has Euler.

Khyron nailed it, it is neat because of the things that make it up. As for usefulness, it really doesn't have any, unless it is to remind you of Euler's Formula by showing what it should work out to.

Looking at it from a magickal standpoint, it has 3 irrational numbers, 5 constants, and 7 total symbols, all of which are powerful numbers.

To be fair, it does have uses as an identity; I used it a couple of times already when working with complex variables, and if I remember correctly I used it once to significantly simplify a Fourier transform.
