Dr. Euler's Fabulous Formula shares the fascinating story of this groundbreaking formula-long regarded as the gold standard for mathematical beauty-and shows why it still lies at the heart of complex number theory. In some ways a sequel to Nahin's An Imaginary Tale, this book examines the many applications of complex numbers alongside intriguing stories from the history of mathematics. Dr. Euler's Fabulous Formula is accessible to any reader familiar with calculus and differential equations, and promises to inspire mathematicians for years to come. 606 $aNumbers, Complex 606 $aEuler's numbers 606 $aMathematics$xHistory 615 0$aNumbers, Complex. 615 0$aEuler's numbers. 615 0$aMathematics$xHistory. 676 $a512.7/88 700 $aNahin$b Paul J$048655 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811038003321 996 $aDr. Euler's fabulous formula$91752425 997 $aUNINA
