Complex-type numbers and generalizations of the Euler identity
  We consider different generalizations of the Euler formula and discuss the properties of the associated trigonometric functions. The problem is analyzed from different points of view and it is shown that it can be formulated in a natural way in algebraic and geometric terms.
