Hi
It is very simple.
Lets first start with taylors series.
From taylors series for e^ix we have
e^ix = 1 + ix + (ix)^2/2! + (ix)^3/3! + (ix)^4/41 + ...
now put the value of i in the above equation it will get reduced to
e^ix = cosx + isinx
It gets reduced to that because cosx and sinx reduction from taylors series is present in e^ix formulae
now we have
in the above equation put x = pie ( 3.147 ) and see the magic at work
cos(pie) = -1
sin(pie) = 0
e^i(pie) + 1 = 0
the above equation is called as eulers equation.
