1 day ago · Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (German: Gauß [kaʁl ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈɡaʊs] ⓘ; Latin: Carolus Fridericus Gauss; 30 April 1777 – 23 February 1855) was a German mathematician, astronomer, geodesist, and physicist who contributed to many fields in mathematics and science.
6 days ago · Indeed, Laplace himself, a notoriously vain and selfish person in spite of his scientific genius, was careful to credit Leonhard Euler (1707--1783) with the basic formula. Well before the work of Laplace, however, mathematical genius Leonhard Euler had studied differential equations.
4 days ago · In Lagrangian mechanics, the evolution of a physical system is described by the solutions to the Euler--Lagrange equations for the action of the system. The Lagrangian formulation, in contrast to Newtonian one, is independent of the coordinates in use.

A convex, vertex-transitive polyhedron is composed of squares and equilateral triangles with 5 faces joining at each vertex. If x x is the number of square faces and y y is the number of triangle faces, compute xy. xy.
5 days ago · In 1768, Leonhard Euler (St. Petersburg, Russia) introduced a numerical method that is now called the Euler method or the tangent line method for solving numerically the initial value problem: \[ y' = f(x,y), \qquad y(x_0 ) = y_0 , \]
4 days ago · About Project Euler. Where should I start? That depends on your background. In the Problems table you will be able to see how many people have solved each problem. As a general rule of thumb the more people that have solved it, the easier it is. I've written my program but should it take days to get to the answer? Absolutely not!
