It's Euler's Identity, and it came up a lot in my electrical engineering classes. EEs deal with imaginary numbers a lot, and this scene plays out all the time. I think everybody who understands the pieces has a similar reaction when first seeing them put together like that.

(Also note the popup - e to the power of something times x gives an oscillating wave, which is also kind of freaky.)

Of course, this sort of math (and much worse) also relates to the fact that I found computer classes much easier than EE classes, and moved toward the computer stuff.

Er, is that something is imaginary, I mean.

A winged horse, for example.
