  1. Sorry, but I have to take issue with a few things in this video.

    First, the math. I think when talking about complex logarithms, it's very important to invoke the idea of a branch cut. This is kind of shown by allowing for any nonzero integer value of k, but its not quite the same time. On that note, if I raise 1 to the power of (log(3) * i / (2 pi)), then I get 3^n where n is any integer, including 0. This resolves the problem that 1^x is 1 for any value of x. The true solution of e^(log(3)*i / (2 pi)) includes 1. This is really a result of the branch cuts. No need for k.

    Second, and this is a personal pet peeve, it's pronounced "OY-ler," not "YOU-ler." I know it's confusing because we say "YOU-clid" and not "OY-clid." This is becaue Euclid is a Greek name, and Euler is a German name, so the pronunciations are entirely different. Also, for some reason, you wrote "Eurler" for the vid, with an r thrown in there.

    I hope that you will consider these points as you continue to make content. Good luck!
