It is clear that one can play many games using DeMoivre's (Euler's)
Theorem, when it comes to needing a specialized formula for a special
reason.
As an example, we are often required to integrate something like
or
over a domain.
These integrals are often handled by replacing the sines and cosines by
exponetials using you know what, and expanding the polynomial, regrouping,
and then either integrating directly, or recovering simple sines and
cosines
and then integrating, whichever seems simpler and/or more straightforward.
