Leonhard Euler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1741 Euler accepted a position at the Academy of Sciences in Berlin, however, due to various reasons, among which was the lack of the king's support, he returned to St. Petersburg in 1766, where he remained for the rest of his life. Euler was the first to publish a systematic introduction to mechanics in Mechanica sive motus scientia analytice exposita (1736, Mechanics or motion explained with analytical science —that is, calculus). Leonhard Euler was born near Basel, Switzerland, the son of Paul Euler, a Lutheran minister. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Euler   (1552 words)

Euler-Mascheroni constant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1790 Italian mathematician Lorenzo Mascheroni introduced the notation γ for the constant, and attempted to extend Euler's calculation still further, to 32 decimal places, although subsequent calculations showed that he had made an error in the 20th decimal place. Euler used the notation C for the constant, and initially calculated its value to 6 decimal places. The constant was first defined by Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in a paper De Progressionibus harmonicus observationes published in 1735. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Euler-Mascheroni_constant   (445 words)

Earliest Uses of Symbols for Constants c for the Euler-Mascheroni constant was used by Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) in De progressionibus harmonicis observationes, Commentarii academiae scientiarum petropolitanae 7 (1734-35), published in 1740, pp.150-161. It seems unlikely that Euler chose the letter because it is the initial of his own name, as occasionally been suggested: he was an extremely modest man and often delayed publication of his own work so that a colleague or student of his would get due credit. Euler next used e in a letter addressed to Goldbach on November 25, 1731, writing that e "denotes that number whose hyperbolic logarithm is = 1." He used e again in 1736 in his Mechanica. www.veling.nl /anne/templars/constants.html   (2144 words)

Numerical Constants - Mathematics & Physics - Numericana Some other set of independent constants could have been used to define the 7 basic units (for example, a conventional value of the electron's charge could replace the conventional permeability of the vacuum) but the following one was chosen after careful considerations. The attribution of this irrational constant to Ramanujan was made by Simon Plouffe, as a monument to a famous 1975 April fools column by Martin Gardner in Scientific American (where it was claimed that the above had been proven to be exactly an integer, as conjectured by Ramanujan in 1914 [sic!]).
