And exp(i pi) = -1 is a definition, not an equation (equivalent to i^2 = -1). Also there are infinitely many such definitions, for the various Clifford and Grassmann algebras. I can't believe neither GR: Rmn = -(8 pi G) Tmn nor the Dirac equation: [ ym (dm + ieAm) + iM ] psi = 0 were mentioned! -drl

There are perhaps no more tragic creatures than middle-aged, middle-class tourists, unused to traveling in unfamiliar places, on a lifetime dream vacation.
