   Hilariously, whoever created that image missed the point.

   That isn’t e^(2pi), it’s e^(i*pi). The stylized i symbol looks a bit like a 2, I guess.

   e^(i*pi) = -1 (this is Euler’s Identity, it’s fairly famous and was groundbreaking when it was discovered).

   So .002-1+1 = .002. it’s making fun of the .002 dollars/.002 cents idiocy you can read about at:
