Just like the maths question and answer game; except with guessing the names of famous equations/theorems etc.

Someone posts an equation and another identifies it. They then post their own equation.

Here is the first, an easy one:

e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Archimedes' non-equality.

Here's mine:
2+2=4
 
I got owned.
