Most of it doesn't mean anything really, but merely gives you definitions, namely what ratios in a triangle are called Sine and Cosine. The only really nontrivial statement here is that e^ix=cos(x)+i sin(x), i.e. that the exponential function contains sine and cosine if you plug imaginary numbers in. That is always fascinating because at first glance, exponential growth and periodic oscillations seem to be completely separate things. Yet, if you take the mathematical function describing exponential growth and plug imaginary numbers in rather than ordinary real numbers, you get an oscillation.
OUCH!

I love that you think it's a pathogen. Quite fitting to be considered a disease of mankind. Made me chuckle.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
