Euler's identity ejθ=cos(θ)+jsin(θ) e−jθ=cos(θ)−jsin(θ)cos(θ)=12(ejθ+e−jθ)sin(θ)=12j(ejθ−e−jθ) \begin{aligned} e^{j\theta} = \cos(\theta) + j \sin(\theta)\ e^{-j\theta} = \cos(\theta) - j \sin(\theta) \\ \\ \cos(\theta)=\frac{1}{2}(e^{j\theta}+e^{-j\theta})\\ \sin(\theta)=\frac{1}{2j}(e^{j\theta}-e^{-j\theta}) \end{aligned} References review of basic math for signals and systems by Henry D.
