Of Euler .....

Sometimes mathematics can be really beautiful and one can see and feel the artistic beauty present in it sometimes. It is not always necessary to understand or learn mathematics. It can be simply asthetic as we see any other peice of art.

While reading an article on Euler, I realized that he may have discovered the most beautiful formula in mathematics. A beautiful formula that connects the five most important numbes in the universe in the simplest of simple way.

A formula that relates different types of numbers (irrational, rational and a complex number) present in mathematics in a magically simple way.

e^iπ + 1= 0

Euler went blind during his later middle age. His majority of work including was done by him mentally.

The above formula is taught to most of us in class 12 mathematics. I dint realize anything special about it then. It dawned that mathematics can be beautiful too.
