This is less trivial that the poster probably realized. 0! = 1 is the combinatorial statement that there are a finite (non-zero) number of configurations of nothing (the empty set). Which is actually pretty striking. It really makes it plausible that, especially after tack on quantum mechanics, you could end up with a real universe as complicated configurations of nothing: no God required.

I am very partial to the Euler-Lagrange equation. Every time I learn a new generalization, I am tempted to call that my new favorite equation. But really, all of the content of those is and will always be contained in the original.

Not the most beautiful, just one I like. The mean value property for harmonic functions. The mean value of a harmonic function on any circle equals the value of the function at the center of the circle. Fantastic fact, in my opinion. I even once plotted 3D graphs of some peculiar real harmonic functions to get a feeling for how they look.

For a function <span class="math">u[/spoiler] harmonic in some domain <span class="math">U \subseteq \mathbb{C}[/spoiler] we have <div class="math">u(z) = \int_{0}^{2\pi} u(z+re^{it}) \frac{dt}{2\pi}</div> for any <span class="math">r > 0[/spoiler] such that the integral is defined.
