In the mid-eighteenth century, Swiss-born mathematician Leonhard Euler
developed a formula so innovative and complex that it continues to
inspire research, discussion, and even the occasional limerick. 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.
