Relationship between e, sin and cos

Converting from e to sin/cos

It is often useful when doing signal processing to understand the relationship between e, sin and cos. Sometimes difficult calculations involving even or odd functions of $e$ can be greatly simplified by using the relationship to simplify things. The relationship is as follows:
$e^{j\theta }=cos(\theta )+j*sin(\theta ).$

Converting from sin/cos to e

The reverse conversion is also often helpful:

$cos(\theta )=\frac{e^{j\theta }+e^{-j\theta }}{2}$

$sin(\theta )=\frac{e^{j\theta }-e^{-j\theta }}{2j}$

We can test to see that this works as follows:

$e^{j\theta }$	$=cos(\theta )+j*sin(\theta )$
	$=\frac{e^{j\theta }+e^{-j\theta }}{2}+j*\frac{e^{j\theta }-e^{-j\theta }}{2j}$
	$=\frac{e^{j\theta }+e^{-j\theta }}{2}+\frac{e^{j\theta }-e^{-j\theta }}{2}$
	$=\frac{(e^{j\theta }+e^{-j\theta })+(e^{j\theta }-e^{-j\theta })}{2}$
	$=\frac{2*e^{j\theta }}{2}$
$e^{j\theta }$	$=e^{j\theta }$
