What's your favorite math/science equation?

<p>Lol, “stroke’s theorem?” The internet makes it too easy to look things up without actually knowing them beforehand, haha… I’m not far along enough in math (the site that tried to explain it lists it as a topic under calc 3, and I’m only in BC this year) to be able to understand it!</p>

<p>Lol, for my entry I think the law of identity would apply. A=A ftmfw!</p>

<p>Euler’s is pretty nifty. </p>

<p>Finding pi through limits is always fun, so anything here: [Pi:</a> Limit representations](<a href=“http://functions.wolfram.com/Constants/Pi/09/]Pi:”>Pi: Limit representations)</p>

<p>Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT) = <3</p>

63

<p>Well, it’s actually Stokes’ Theorem, but good enough. Unfortunately, it’s often classified as a Multivariable Calculus theorem (as a version of it is taught in Calc 3), when in reality, one cannot fully grasp the beauty of the equation until he has taken Differentiable Manifolds or Tensor Calculus, or whatever they call it at your school.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>LOL My online BC teacher asked us to test out the equation eq for the discussion board and I used Stoke’s theorem.</p>

65

<p>C’mon guys!
The Pythagorean Theorem pwns all else!!!</p>

66

<p>I’m gonna second post #2… e^(i*pi)+1=0.</p>

<p>Seriously.</p>

<p>It’s so beautiful.</p>

<p>All those seemingly random irrational numbers combining to form… -1. </p>

<p><em>sigh of pleasure</em></p>

67

<p>E=MC^2
mass defect ftw</p>

68

<p>10^2 + 11^2 + 12^2 = 13^2 + 14^2</p>

<p>: O</p>

69

<p>^ Mind = blown</p>

70

<p>^^haha that’s pretty awesome :)</p>

71

<p>21^2 + 22^2 + 23^2 + 24^2 = 25^2 + 26^2 + 27^2</p>

<p>Holy ****. o_o</p>

72

<p>Euler’s Identity FTW…</p>

<p>We should have a poll on this…</p>

73

<p>210^2 + 211^2 + 212^2 + 213^2 + 214^2 + 215^2 + 216^2 + 217^2 + 218^2 + 219^2 + 220^2 = 221^2 + 222^2 + 223^2 + 224^2 + 225^2 + 226^2 + 227^2 + 228^2 + 229^2 + 230^2</p>

<p>I figured out a general solution for this, heh.</p>

74

<p>^^agreed.</p>

<p>Euler’s Identity is awesome. What could be more beautiful than: e^(i pi) + 1 = 0 ?:D</p>

<p>XDDD</p>

76

<p>P1v1/t1 = p2v2/t2</p>

77

<p>It’s gotta be E = MC^2. It’s the most universal and simplest.</p>

78

<p>As far as actual equations go, the pythagorean is the only one I consistently remember year to year… </p>

<p>But honestly, I would not have made it through AlgII/Trig without SOHCAHTOA</p>

79

<p>The Law of Sines and Law of Cosines are both sexy beasts.</p>

80

<p>^^^ ROFL!! I totally agree, but both have bad sides to them.
The Law of Sines can be ambiguous and drive you crazy figuring out which is which. The Law of Cosines have too many variables in the formula. But both are great. =)</p>
