  Euler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Euler wrote an article on acoustics, which went on to become a classic, in his bid for selection to the post but he was not chosen to go forward to the stage where lots were drawn to make the final decision on who would fill the chair.
Euler became professor of physics at the Academy in 1730 and, since this allowed him to become a full member of the Academy, he was able to give up his Russian navy post.
Euler was also helped by two other members of the Academy, W L Krafft and A J Lexell, and the young mathematician N Fuss who was invited to the Academy from Switzerland in 1772.

 Prime Product Paradox   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Euler's zeta function, which forms the basis for Riemann's Hypothesis, is the sum of the integers from 1 to infinity raised to a power.
Euler was also the first to notice that his zeta function can also be expressed in terms of the primes.
This paradox is concerned with Euler's prime product, and demonstrates a potential loop-hole with the prime product.

For example, Euler invented the field of analytical number theory, and he was the first mathematician to recognize the importance of and to discover the important properties of complex numbers.
For example, we learn that Euler began to loose the sight in his right eye at the age of 32, and that despite his virtual blindness by the age of 65, he continued his prolific rate of output until his death at age 84.
Euler's original work continued to be published more than fifty years after his death in 1783 and his Opera Omnia has only begun to be gathered in the 20th century.

 Homogeneity and Euler's Theorem
Phillip Wicksteed (1894) stated the "product exhaustion" thesis implied by the marginal productivity theory of distribution - namely, that if all agents were paid their marginal product, then total costs would exhaust the entire product.
Wicksteed assumed constant returns to scale - and thus employed a linear homogeneous production function, a function which was homogeneous of degree one.
It was A.W. Flux (1894) who pointed out that Wicksteed's "product exhaustion" thesis was merely a restatement of Euler's Theorem.

Euler was next motivated to consider the reciprocal of the infinite product for the generating function of p(m).
Jacobi gave some remarkable applications of the triple product identity to elliptic functions and to number theory-in particular, to the problem of finding the number of representations of a number as a sum of squares.
We therefore suspect that Euler's formulas must be particular cases of a nonterminating q-binomial theorem, and this is in fact true.

 Open Questions: The Riemann Hypothesis
Euler was (apparently) the first to realize that this fact could be expressed as an identity between an infinite sum and an infinite product.
Given that there are in fact two product formulas for ζ(s), that one involves the prime numbers, and that the other involves the zeros of ζ(s), it's hard to avoid the suspicion that there is some relationship between the distribution of the primes and the distribution of the zeros.
Using the alternative product formula for ζ(s) that Riemann conjectured and Hadamard proved, it could be shown that the precise distribution of the zeros of ζ(s) affected the goodness of the approximation of π(x) by Li(x).

A 3D rotation R moves a 3D point P1 in a rigid manner to a 3D point P2, around a 3D axis Δ and with an amplitude equal to an angle θ, such that P2 = R[Δ,θ](P1).

 Review of "Prime Obsession"
In 1737 the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler announced that he had found that the sum of the reciprocals of the squares of positive integers is pi-squared / 6.
Euler went on, finding similar expressions for the sum of the reciprocals of even powers of the positive integers and studying the general properties of the sum of the powers of the positive integers, for an arbitrary exponent.
Primes and the zeta function remained separate for a while: The former were classified as belonging to arithmetic, and the latter was considered an object in analysis to be studied by calculus.

On the other hand, jazzmaster's link states that Euler used a numerical method to estimate the value of zeta(2); he recognized the value as being approximately (pi^2)/6, so he subsequently restricted his search to trigonometric functions.

In retrospect, given our knowledge that $pi$ is transcendental (this was only proved about a century ago), Euler's evaluation (1.4) of $zt (2)$ explains why Mengoli failed with his attempts; since Mengoli's techniques were based on telescoping series and related elementary methods, he could not obtain an answer such as (1.4).
In 1737 Euler showed that $zeta (s)$, which is defined by (1.1) for $rRe (s) > 1$, can also be written as.DS 2.EQ (1.5) zt (s) ~=~ PI from p ~ (1-p sup -s) sup -1 ~~~~~rRe (s) > 1 ^,.EN.DE where $p$ runs over the primes.
This expansion, now called the Euler product of $zeta (s)$, follows from the fact that every positive integer has a unique expansion as a product of prime powers, and so when one expands the product in (1.5) and rearranges the terms, the sum (1.1) results.
