  5. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    Euler's formula is ubiquitous in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering. The physicist Richard Feynman called the equation "our jewel" and "the most remarkable formula in mathematics". [2] When x = π, Euler's formula may be rewritten as e iπ + 1 = 0 or e iπ = −1, which is known as Euler's identity.

    Mechanica (Latin: Mechanica sive motus scientia analytice exposita; 1736) is a two-volume work published by mathematician Leonhard Euler which describes analytically the mathematics governing movement. Euler both developed the techniques of analysis and applied them to numerous problems in mechanics, [1] notably in later publications the ...

    Map of Königsberg in Euler's time showing the actual layout of the seven bridges, highlighting the river Pregel and the bridges. The Seven Bridges of Königsberg is a historically notable problem in mathematics. Its negative resolution by Leonhard Euler, in 1736, [1] laid the foundations of graph theory and prefigured the idea of topology. [2]
