 Euler's formula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Euler's formula, named after Leonhard Euler, is a mathematical formula in complex analysis that shows a deep relationship between the trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function.
Euler's formula was proven (in an obscured form) for the first time by Roger Cotes in 1714, then rediscovered and popularized by Euler in 1748.
Euler's formula provides a powerful connection between analysis and trigonometry, and provides an interpretation of the sine and cosine functions as weighted sums of the exponential function:

 Eulers formula in complex analysis - Wikipedia
Euler's formula allows one to interpret the sine and cosine functions as mere variations of the exponential function:
The most remarkable formula in the world is an easy consequence of Euler's formula.
In electrical engineering and other fields, signals that vary periodically over time are often described as a combination of sine and cosine functions (see Fourier analysis), and these are more conveniently expressed as exponential functions with imaginary exponents, using Euler's formula.

 De Moivre's formula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The formula is important because it connects complex numbers (i stands for the imaginary unit) and trigonometry.
By expanding the left hand side and then comparing the real and imaginary parts, it is possible to derive useful expressions for cos(nx) and sin(nx) in terms of cos(x) and sin(x).
Abraham de Moivre was a good friend of Newton; in 1698 he wrote that the formula had been known to Newton as early as 1676.

Euler worked in an astonishing variety of areas, ranging from the very pure the theory of numbers, the geometry of a circle and musical harmony via such areas as infinite series, logarithms, the calculus and mechanics, to the practical optics, astronomy, the motion of the Moon, the sailing of ships, and much else besides.
Euler found himself in physics, rather than medicine, which was probably a relief for all those future patients who might not have appreciated being operated on with straight-edge and compass.
Euler proved, using his generating functions, that for any number, the number of odd partitions is always equal to the number of distinct partitions an intriguing and unexpected result.

 Lesson Plans--Euler's Formula   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
Students will discover Euler's formula for polyhedra, and will be able to show that it works for any convex polyhedron.
This formula is named "Euler's Formula" (pronounced "oiler") after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler who discovered this relationship in 1752.
Euler showed that his formula works for any convex polyhedron, whether it is regular or irregular.

 PlanetMath: Euler relation
Euler's relation (also known as Euler's formula) is considered the first bridge between the fields of algebra and geometry, as it relates the exponential function to the trigonometric sine and cosine functions.
This is version 9 of Euler relation, born on 2001-11-08, modified 2005-06-02.

 Euler's Formula
This page lists proofs of the Euler formula: for any convex polyhedron, the number of vertices and faces together is exactly two more than the number of edges.
According to Malkevitch, this formula was discovered in around 1750 by Euler, and first proven by Legendre in 1794.
Perhaps there is a proof of Euler's formula that uses these polynomials directly rather than merely translating one of the inductions into polynomial form.

Euler analysis applies to slender columns, the formula, for the critical axial concentric load that causes the column to be on the point of collapse for frictionless pinned ends (no bending moment at the ends) is given below.
Eulers equation as written can be applied to a column with ends fixed in any manner if the length is taken as that between sections of zero bending moment.
A typical factor of safety, or design factor, for Euler structural columns is between 2 and 3.5, but this is based on the critical load, not on the yield or ultimate strength of the material.

Eulers derivation is both concise and beautiful, it contains three extremely important mathematical constants, e, i and π which can be explored in turn by clicking the relevant area of the formula above.
However, the mathematics behind this formula, which I hope shall become clear to you is rock-solid, and its conclusion can not be doubted.
The modulus-arguement form of a complex number used to derive Eulers formula is very useful as it makes multiplication and division of a complex number simple.

 Can You Find by Shyam Sunder Gupta   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
My "C" implementation of his formula and the answer to this problem is below.
In searching for primes of the form ax^2+bx+c, it is good to put the axis of symmetery at -b/2a=50000.5 so that when x yields a prime value then 100001-x also yields a prime value (what we Americans call a "two-fer," for two for one sales).
The general principle is sound but one should realize that, once a candidate formula is found, the value at x=1 might be composite while the value at x=100001 might be prime, so that shifting x by 1 would up the prime count.

The book is, as the author notes, a continuation of his book, An Imaginary Tale, where Nahin discusses the square root of -1.
(If you haven't read that book, read it first because many of the footnotes refer to it.) In this book, we see more of complex numbers and, in particular, we see many applications of Euler's Identity that "e^{i theta} = cos(theta)+ i sin(theta)." This simple looking indentity is rich in applications and explorations.
Nahin takes you on a journey to these topics and does so in an easy to follow way.
