Later in Chapter 3 on Taylor expansions, you'll see that you that you can write functions as an infinitely long polynomial: xt cosx = 1 sinx = It looks like the cos x and sin x somehow add to give e*. The one problem is that the signs don’t quite match up. But i changes sign as we raise it to higher powers. oe & Exponential form z=re® You need to be able to convert to and from exponential form. x + iy | Mod-arg form Exp Form 3 iene -1 — This is Euler’s identity.
