This explanation for pi is the one we were actually thought in school, and we were thought about e through continuous growth. (as in the article on e on this site). Both make perfect sense to me but I'm still blown away by eulers identity ( e(i.pi)+1 = 0 ). What is the meaning of this relation between e, i and pi .. is there an <B>intuitive</B> way to look at this you are aware of ?

No crazy formulas, no pi floating around &#8212; just multiply to convert rotational speed to linear speed. All because radians speak in terms of the mover. [...] […] Wow!
