I remember just playing with my good old TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, plugging a bunch of symbols together, like e, and i, etc... when I suddenly got the e^i*pi = -1.

How in the world do these completely unrelated (to me, at the time, at least) constants ended up with -1? It was mind blowing. This made me actually interested in math.
