Favorite Equation: Quadratic Formula - Solving for X

In summary: To me it seems that Euler's identity is a trivial instance of Euler's formula. Euler's identity is a special case of Euler's formula, yes. But it's not trivial at all, and it's not just a "special case" in the sense that it's not as important or something - it's just as important, and the fact that it's a special case makes it more beautiful, IMO.

my favourite equation actually, is 1=1, cause it holds the fabric of math together

But that's not true.

im not talking about beauty, I am talkingg about my favourite equation

The equation 1=1, it's not true.

Explain.

Euler's equation is beautiful, but I think my favorite is Stokes' Theorem:

Given a [itex]k[/itex]-chain, [itex] M[/itex] in [itex]\mathbb{R}^n[/itex] and a [itex]k-1[/itex] form, [itex]\omega \in \Omega^{k-1}\mathbb{R}^n[/itex],
[tex]\int_{M}d\omega=\int_{\partial M}\omega.[/tex]

All the classical theorems of div, grad, and curl, follow from this one elegant equation.
