Interpreting the Famous Five equation
One may also interpret the limit as convergence of solutions to Euler's numerical scheme $$\frac{\phi_n-\phi_{n-1}}{\pi/n}=i\phi_{n-1},\quad \phi_0=1,$$ to a solution of the ODE $$\dot{\phi}=i\phi,\ t\in(0,\pi].$$

Yes. And the 3D vizualization of Euler's formula is also instructive en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Euler%27s_Formula_c.png

Thanks, Kevin, that's very kind of you. The credit really goes to Wikipedia :)

Why does undergraduate discrete math require calculus?
Why not? This is a problem from Chapter 1 of the Pólya-Szegö problems' book. I learned it myself in an undergrad course.

Analytic ODE with complex time
@Guy Katriel: You're right, the Cauchy-Kowalevski theorem can be applied here but it's probably overkill.

Is there an intuitive explanation for an extremal property of Chebyshev polynomials?
The link works on my PC. Anyway, it's "Chebyshev Polynomials" by J. C. Mason and D. C. Handscomb.
