内容説明

C. Edward Sandifer has been studying Euler for decades and is one of the world's leading experts on his work. This book is the second collection of Sandifer's 'How Euler Did It' columns. Each is a jewel of historical and mathematical exposition. The sum total of years of work and study of the most prolific mathematician in history, this volume will leave the reader marveling at Euler's clever inventiveness, which Sandifer explicates and puts in context.
