Frequently Asked Questions
Have another question? Let us know.
What is Euler's identity?
Euler's identity e^(iπ) + 1 = 0 is one of the most famous formulas in mathematics, connecting five of the most important mathematical constants (e, i, π, 1, 0) in the most concise form.
Why is this formula called the most beautiful mathematical formula?
Because it unifies multiple important branches of mathematics in an extremely concise form: algebra, geometry, analysis, and number theory. It demonstrates the deep unity and beauty of mathematics.
What's the difference between the two routes in the game?
The beginner's route gets the password by concatenating numbers, while the mathematician's route requires understanding the deep meaning of Euler's identity and directly inputting expressions containing e^(iπ).
How to understand the meaning of 'half turn'?
In the complex plane, e^(iπ) represents starting from point 1, rotating counterclockwise π radians (180 degrees) around the origin, finally reaching point -1. This is the geometric meaning of 'half turn'.
What educational value does this game have?
The game introduces important mathematical concepts in an entertaining way, showcasing the beauty and philosophical thinking of mathematics, allowing players to learn mathematical knowledge through entertainment.
