Different people just have different ways of "seeing" and "understanding" the world. Euler, Leonhard, 'Additamentum I de curvis elasticis', added to Methodus inveniendi lineas curvas maximi minimive proprietate. Leonhard’s mother was a pastor’s daughter. Leonhard was the eldest of their four children. His mother was Marguerite Brucker and his father was Paul Euler. Since it is their personal opinion they are not wrong in their own mind (and who can say they are wrong in any absolute sense? Noone can explicity). Leonhard Euler (pronounced oiler) was born on Apin the city of Basel, Switzerland. Euler, born in Basel, Switzerland, spent most of his adult life working in St Petersburg, Russia, under the protection of the Russian czars. I think Euler was a god of math, and he is generally considered to be one of the top three mathematicians of all time with Arcemedes and Newton however, I believe Christians(or anyone else) can take situations like the equation in this post and "think" it means anything they want. T o the E ditor Leonhard Euler (17071783) was probably the greatest mathematician of the 18th century, and a pioneer and innovator in many different scientific fields ranging from fluid dynamics to optics and astronomy. The proof requires the Calculus of Variations (this is like Cal 5 material). We just covered this in my Applied Math class. While I consider myself an agnostic, that equation is the reason I say that I'm 60/40 belief/disbelief.ĭo you know that the proof of 1 + 1 = 2 is really very involved and basically a PITA? It is amazingly complex considering the apparent simplictyly of the problem.Īnother problem which seems completely intuitive that has a complex proof is showing that the shortest distance between two points in a plane is a straight line. Leonhard Euler Quotes To those who ask what the infinitely small quantity in mathematics is, we answer that it is actually zero. There is really no reason to expect e and pi to be related as such when you consider where they come from. It's by far the best 'proof' of God that I've seen in my life. Euler believed that such a simple relation between the arguably the five most important numbers in math was too unlikely to be a coincidence. This numbers come from far-ranging parts of mathematics: e is from calculus, pi is from geometry, i is imaginary, and 1 and 0 are arithmetic. Pi = The ratio of circumference of a circle to its diameterġ = The multiplicative identity (x*1 = x)
Petersburg, to which he had been originally called by Catherine II.
In 1766, Leonhard Euler, with difficulty, obtained permission from the King of prussia to return to St. The mathematician Leonhard Euler believed the best empirical evidence for the existance of God is the following equation(which is easily derivable for anyone who remembers Taylor expansions): Euler replied, Madam, it is because I come from a country where, when one speaks, one is hanged.
