Description: This is a demonstration that Exp(i*Pi)=-1 (called Euler's formula, or Euler's identity). It uses the formula (1+z/N)^N --> Exp(z) (as N increases). The Nth power is displayed as a repeated multiplication in the complex plane. As N increases, you can see that the final result (the last point) approaches -1, the actual value of Exp(i*pi).
