Euler's Pioneering Equation

The most beautiful theorem in mathematics

Ebook (EPUB Format)

In 1988 The Mathematical Intelligencer, a quarterly mathematics journal, carried out a poll to find the most beautiful theorem in mathematics. Twenty-four theorems were listed and readers were invited to award each a 'score for beauty'. While there were many worthy competitors, the winner was 'Euler's equation'. In 2004 Physics World carried out a similar poll of 'greatest equations', and found that among physicists Euler's mathematical result camesecond only to Maxwell's equations. The Stanford mathematician Keith Devlin reflected the feelings of many in describing it as like a Shakespearian sonnet that captures the very essence of love, or… Mehr
