Consider the real-valued exponential function exp: defined by exp(x)=ex . It has the following properties:

1) ex0x

2) ex+y=exeyx,y

3) (ex)=exx

We want to extend the exponential function exp to the complex numbers in such a way that

1) ez0z

2) ez+w=ezewz,w

3) (ez)=ezz

But ez has been already defined for z=iθ and we have eiθ=cosθ+isinθ.
