Isn't there an error in the math at the bottom?
Yes,
The e^(2*pie) is not what is written on the check: it is e^(i*pie), therefore the check is written for 0.002+(-1)+1.

Just found the error -
The e^(2*pie) is not what is written on the check:
it e^(i*pie)
Mathematicians, go!
exactly so the check is written for .002-1+1, therefore verizon billed him for $0.002
