See also: #Product-to-sum and sum-to-product identitiesThese are also known as the addition and subtraction theorems or formulæ. They were originally established by the 10th century Persian mathematician Abū al-Wafā' Būzjānī. One method of proving these identities is to apply Euler's formula. The use of the symbols and is described in the article plus-minus sign.

Famous quotes containing the words angle, sum and/or difference:
“So much symmetry!
Like the pale angle of time
And eternity.
The great shape labored and fell.”
—N. Scott Momaday (b. 1934)
“The real risks for any artist are taken ... in pushing the work to the limits of what is possible, in the attempt to increase the sum of what it is possible to think. Books become good when they go to this edge and risk falling over it—when they endanger the artist by reason of what he has, or has not, artistically dared.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
“It occurred to me that there was no difference between men, in intelligence or race, so profound as the difference between the sick and the well.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
