I was fortunate enough to have a maths teacher, Q if anyone from Worthing VI Form College is on this group, who claimed and gave reasons for

e^^i*pi+1=0

being the most elegant equation that there is, linking as it does probably the 5 most important numbers that exist.

Of course his proofs that read at a critical point

"Clearly" or "by inspection" or "consider" irritated me somewhat then and annoy the hell out of me now.

Anyway a marvellous teacher and man.
