There is a beautiful way to derive the famous Euler’s formula!

In this🧵, I’ll explain a visual, intuitive derivation. It’ll fit into a single picture at the end.

What's your #calculus narrative? Do you have a one-sentence summary you can repeat to students throughout the course so that they absorb the main idea?

I was inspired by the attached thread to share my current best answer...

My answer:

"Calculus makes hard problems easy with (1) approximations, (2) limits, and (3) shortcuts:

(1) approximate curvy shapes w/ straight shapes,
(2) find a limit by infinite refinement,
(3) apply general results to bypass limit calculation."
