Wow OP.
have you ever heard of modulo 2pi ?
[math](e^{\pi i})^2 = (-1)^2[/math]
does not follow from
[math]e^{\pi i} = -1[/math]
Can you point me to a number that can give you two different values when you square it?
Sure. Try [math]2^i[/math]. Or any number raised to the ith power.
Hint: It's the i that fucks it up
not this guy but
the stuff that doesn't follow up is the logarithm
Perhaps, but that step is also incorrect.
That's because [math]s^i[/math] doesn't give a single well defined number because it's defined by logarithms. On the other hand, [math]e^{2\pi i}[/math] doesn't have this issue, and you can immediately verify that [math](e^{\pi i})^2 = (-1)^2[/math]
ln 1 has many complex roots besides real solution 0
2 pi i is one of them
You're squaring the indices
That's clearly no the same that in OP. I hope you are trolling.
user, you've just witnessed

[eqn]
\begin{aligned}
2^i &= e^{i \ln{2}} \\
&= \cos{(\ln{2})} + i \sin{(\ln{2})} \\
&\approx 0.76924 + 0.63896i
\end{aligned}
[/eqn] What's [math]i[/math] doing that's fuggery again?
He's abusing the fact that the complex plane isn't one-to-one.
If he mentions that e^0 = e^2*pi*i then this shit is trivial.
>He's abusing the fact that the complex plane isn't one-to-one.
the people who say shit like this are worth than the original posters
Do you have anything constructive add? Like, for instance, why that's "worth than the original posters"?

Not my fault mathematicians just keep making stuff up
