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
