    e to the power of 2 times i times pi is one of the best numbers.

    Not only for its great multiplicative properties, but also its applications all across math and physics. It’s an easy number to work with, and always a pleasure to encounter. It gets used quite a lot in programming, too.

      Oh, I forgot to mention: there’s also a great Three Dog Night song named for this number :)
