Euler's Navigation Variational Problem, Sylvio R. Bistafa Sep 2022

Euler's Navigation Variational Problem, Sylvio R. Bistafa

Euleriana

In a 1747 publication, De motu cymbarum remis propulsarum in fluviis (“On the motion of boats propelled by oars in rivers”), Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) works out various instances of a boat moving at constant speed across a stream flowing in straight streamlines at assigned speeds, in which one of these gives rise to a variational problem consisting of finding the quickest crossing path between two points on opposite side of the river banks, which is generally known as the navigation variational problem. This problem together with the well-known catenary and brachistochrone problems, are considered classical examples in the calculus …


Basel Problem: Historical Perspective And Further Proofs From Stochastic Processes, Uwe Hassler, Mehdi Hosseinkouchack Sep 2022

Basel Problem: Historical Perspective And Further Proofs From Stochastic Processes, Uwe Hassler, Mehdi Hosseinkouchack

Euleriana

In this note, we offer a historical perspective on solutions of the Basel problem. In particular, we have a closer look at some of the less famous results by Euler E41 and provide a review of a selection of the assemblage of earlier proofs. Moreover, we show how to generate further proofs using Karhunen-Lo\`{e}ve expansions of stochastic processes.


Answer To A Question Concerning Euler's Paper "Variae Considerationes Circa Series Hypergeometricas", Alexander Aycock Sep 2022

Answer To A Question Concerning Euler's Paper "Variae Considerationes Circa Series Hypergeometricas", Alexander Aycock

Euleriana

We solve a problem concerning Euler's paper "Variae considerationes circa series hypergeometricas" (\cite{E661}), as suggested by G. Faber in the preface to Volume 16,2 of the first series of Euler's Opera Omnia. Our solution employs methods introduced by Euler at other places.

Learning Mathematics From The Master: A Collection Of Euler-Based Primary Source Projects For Today’S Students, Part Ii, Janet H. Barnett, Dominic Klyve, Dave Ruch Sep 2022

Learning Mathematics From The Master: A Collection Of Euler-Based Primary Source Projects For Today’S Students, Part Ii, Janet H. Barnett, Dominic Klyve, Dave Ruch

Euleriana

This article and its prequel together highlight a set of nine classroom-ready projects that draw on the remarkable writing of Leonhard Euler (1707--1783) as a means to help students develop an understanding of standard topics from today’s undergraduate mathematics curriculum. Part of a larger collection of primary source projects intended for use in a wide range of undergraduate mathematics courses, these projects are freely available to students and their instructors. We provide a general description of the pedagogical design underlying these projects, more detailed descriptions of the individual projects themselves, and instructions for obtaining downloadable copies for classroom use.


On The Motion Of Boats Propelled By Oars In Rivers, Sylvio R. Bistafa Sep 2022

On The Motion Of Boats Propelled By Oars In Rivers, Sylvio R. Bistafa

Euleriana

Euler considers the following problem: A boat with a perfect rudder moves at constant speed across a stream flowing in straight streamlines at assigned speeds. Assuming that the downstream velocity of the boat equals that of the river, how should the rudder be set so that the boat traverses a given path? He works out various instances, one of which gives rise to a variational problem, in detail. (From Clifford Truesdell's An idiot's fugitive essays on science: methods, criticisms, training, circumstances.)


A Method For Calculating The Equation Of Noon (An English Translation Of Methodus Computandi Aequationem Meridiei), Patrick T. Headley Sep 2022

A Method For Calculating The Equation Of Noon (An English Translation Of Methodus Computandi Aequationem Meridiei), Patrick T. Headley

Euleriana

In this paper Euler presents a method for determining solar noon, the time at which the Sun crosses the meridian. The method requires the times of two observations of the Sun, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, at equal altitudes above the horizon. Solar noon is approximately the midpoint between two such observations, but, since the declination of the Sun will have changed during the day, a correction term, called the equation of noon, is required. Euler explains that this term is too large to ignore and discusses the table of values constructed by de la Hire; …

Variety And Variation, Christopher Goff, Erik R. Tou

Euleriana

Welcome to Volume 2 of Issue 2 of Euleriana. While we occasionally discover themes that emerge from the articles and translations presented in a given issue, the wide range of Euler’s work more often results in a variety of topics for each issue. This is no less true for Issue 2.


Evidence Based Practice: Assessing The Educational Outcome, Michelle Brady Dr., Des Gallagher Aug 2022

Evidence Based Practice: Assessing The Educational Outcome, Michelle Brady Dr., Des Gallagher

Pacific Journal of Health

Healthcare providers and patients strive for optimal outcomes with a growing trend to embed the principles of evidence-based practice (EBP) into mainstream care delivery by practicing dentists. The foundations of future best practice are built at dental school. How do we evaluate the outcome of an EBP syllabus?

This study describes the use of the KACE assessment tool to assess the learning outcomes of final year DDS students who had completed an EBP program. The use of a validated instrument to measure four dimensions, knowledge, attitudes about it, familiarity with sources for accessing evidence and confidence in critical appraisal skills …
