This equation, stated by Euler in 1758, [2] is known as Euler's polyhedron formula. [3] It corresponds to the Euler characteristic of the sphere (i.e. = ), and applies identically to spherical polyhedra. An illustration of the formula on all Platonic polyhedra is given below.
(The appearance of in the summation is the usual Euler characteristic.) [1] [2] If the action is free, the sum has only a single term, and so this expression reduces to the topological Euler characteristic of divided by | |. [2]
In the mathematical field of Galois cohomology, the local Euler characteristic formula is a result due to John Tate that computes the Euler characteristic of the group cohomology of the absolute Galois group G K of a non-archimedean local field K.
Indeed, to obtain this formula, remove disjoint disc neighborhoods of the branch points from S and their preimages in S' so that the restriction of is a covering. Removing a disc from a surface lowers its Euler characteristic by 1 by the formula for connected sum, so we finish by the formula for a non-ramified covering.
In mathematics, specifically in algebraic topology, the Euler class is a characteristic class of oriented, real vector bundles. Like other characteristic classes, it measures how "twisted" the vector bundle is. In the case of the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold, it generalizes the classical notion of Euler characteristic.
Millions in the eastern U.S. continued to get their first real taste of winter weather on Friday with a storm that's bringing rain and up to a foot of snow to higher elevations. Light snow could ...
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.
