  Shout out to the euler relationship for allowing me to forget every single trig identity I ever learned

    I’d be curious how that works? I always hated memorizing those things, and I’d love it if there was some way to easily derive those from a single relationship.

      e^(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x)

      That is the euler relationship. You can use that relationship to convert any expression with a trig function into an expression of exponentials and imaginary numbers. “Euler’s formula” is a good search term if you want to learn more

  I don’t know what any of those are, but surely lagrangian mechanics was invented by Lagrange, right

    I guess Euler-Langrangian mechanics was too much of a mouthful!

    hmmm… I was going to go with continuum mechanics as that seems made up. Maybe Euler contributed something to Lagrange.
