Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

Leonhard Euler, a Swiss mathematician who continued to work on complex equations from memory even after he went blind, is honored in Monday’s Google Doodle on the 306th anniversary of his birth. Euler ...

It was 58 years ago that Shrikhande, along with his mentor R.C. Bose and their collaborator E.T. Parker, proved Euler wrong and made the headlines. Late in his life, the legendary Swiss mathematician ...

When Frederick the Great was crowned King of Prussia in 1740 he immediately revived the Berlin Academy of Sciences and invited scholars from throughout Europe to Berlin. The most luminous of these was ...

Jonathan Borwein (Jon) receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Often described as “the most beautiful formula in mathematics”, Euler seems never to have actually written it down – ...

For almost 200 years, Euler’s conjecture reigned in mathematics unchecked. Then, a paper came out that turned the whole thing on its head… and it did it all in just two sentences. In 1769, ...

This video explores how Euler connected pi, square roots, and one half using factorials, revealing the deep relationships behind seemingly unrelated mathematical constants. Through clear explanations ...

“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 ...

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 ...

The great Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler produced profound and abundant mathematical works. Publication of his Opera Omnia began in 1911 and, with close to 100 volumes in print, it is nearing ...
