Occasionally, people hold polls for the most beautiful mathematical formula of all time — yes, they really do, I am not making this up, honest —- and nearly, always the winner is a famous formula discovered by Euler, which uses complex numbers to link the two famous constants 
and it is extremely influential in a branch of mathematics known as complex analysis.
