SUMMARY
Mathematica can recognize Euler's identity, e^{-iθ} = cos(θ) + i*sin(θ), through the use of the Exp function. To visualize this identity, users can utilize the Plot function with the imaginary part of the exponential function. A specific example provided is: Plot[Im@Exp[-I x], {x, -5, 5}, PlotStyle -> Thick, ColorFunction -> "StarryNightColors"]. This approach effectively displays the sine component of the identity on a graph.
