    Identity for exponential function with imaginary arguments

    I have seen the following identity used. Exp[iw/2]-Exp[iw/2]=Exp[iw]-1 I can't find this in any book and I can't prove it myself. The left side equals 2isin(w/2) The right side equals cos(w)+isin(w)-1 On the face of it, that seems to make the identity absurd How can one go about proving...
