Circle in the Euclidean space using Euler's Number

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of 0 to 1 in Euclidean space, the use of Euler's number in the expression (1 + 1/n)^n, and the connection between 1 to 0 and the circle. The conversation also expresses amazement at the significance of Euler's number in various mathematical contexts.

What...?

But welcome to PF!

What do you mean by "0 to 1 in Euclidean space"? What is changing from 0 to 1?

What do you mean by "(1+ 1/n)^n using Euler's number"? Yes, the limit, as n goes to infinity is Euler's number but I would not say "with" Euler's number.

And, finally, what do you mean by "1 to 0 with the circle"? What is changing from 1 to 0 and what does that have to do with the circle?

I'm so confused by this post. Are you talking about how ##e^{i\theta}## is a circle in the complex plane with radius ##1##, or how the series expansion for ##(1+\frac{1}{n})^n## is ##e-\frac{e}{2n}+O(\frac{1}{n^2})##, or something else?

Regardless, e certainly is an amazing number and pops up in tons of (un)expected places.
 

1. What is a circle in the Euclidean space?

A circle in the Euclidean space is a two-dimensional shape that is formed by all the points that are equidistant from a fixed point called the center. It is a fundamental geometric shape that has many applications in mathematics and science.

2. What is Euler's number?

Euler's number, denoted by the letter e, is a mathematical constant that is approximately equal to 2.71828. It is a fundamental number in calculus and is often used to represent growth or decay in natural systems.

3. How is Euler's number related to circles in the Euclidean space?

Euler's number is closely related to circles in the Euclidean space through the equation e^(iπ) + 1 = 0, known as Euler's identity. This equation relates the exponential function, which is used to describe the growth or decay of circles, to the complex numbers that are used to represent points on a circle.

4. How can Euler's number be used to calculate properties of circles?

Euler's number can be used in various mathematical formulas to calculate properties of circles, such as the circumference, area, and curvature. For example, the formula C = 2πr uses Euler's number to calculate the circumference of a circle with radius r.

5. Are there any real-world applications of Euler's number and circles in the Euclidean space?

Yes, there are many real-world applications of Euler's number and circles in the Euclidean space. Some examples include the use of circles in construction, navigation, and engineering, as well as the use of Euler's number in finance, physics, and biology.
