    In the cool, I would definitely include this well-known, but always elegant, equation:

    Code:
            i * pi
          e       +    1   = 0
    

    It encapsulates, in one subtle, but by no means obvious, equality, arguably the 5 most fundamental numbers of all, i.e. unity, zero, pi, e and i.

    It's cool also because it combines the imaginary with the transcendental, which is kind of cosmic, or kharmic, or something....
