“Gentlemen, that is surely true, it is absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it, and we don’t know what it means. But we have proved it, and therefore we know it must be the truth.” —Benjamin ...

This video explores one of Leonhard Euler’s most elegant ideas, showing how factorials can be used to connect π, square roots ...

Mathematical equations aren't just useful -- many are quite beautiful. And many scientists admit they are often fond of particular formulas not just for their function, but for their form, and the ...

What is it that makes Euler's identity, e]iPi + 1 = 0, so special? In Euler's Pioneering Equation Robin Wilson shows how this simple, elegant, and profound formula links together perhaps the five most ...

Many people find complex math puzzling, including some mathematicians. Recently, a mathematician has found solutions to a puzzle that has been around for centuries. They have found a way to generate ...
