Euler Archive Spotlight: Ed Sandifer's Influence, Erik Tou

Euleriana

The Euler Archive owes its existence to the work and enthusiasm of C. Edward Sandifer. In this issue, we give a history of Ed's work and influence on the creation and growth of the Euler Archive.

Translating Scientific Latin Texts With Artificial Intelligence: The Works Of Euler And Contemporaries, Sylvio R. Bistafa

Euleriana

The major hindrance in the study of earlier scientific literature is the availability of Latin translations into modern languages. This is particularly true for the works of Euler who authored about 850 manuscripts and wrote a thousand letters and received back almost two thousand more. The translation of many of these manuscripts, books and letters have been published in various sources over the last two centuries, but many more have not yet appeared. Fortunately, nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) translation can be used to circumvent the challenges of translating such substantial number of texts. To validate this tool, benchmark tests have …

On The Vibration Of Strings: An English Translation Of Leonhard Euler’S `Sur La Vibration Des Cordes' (E140), Reilly R. Fortune

We present an English translation of E140 - 'Sur la Vibration des cordes.'

About The Cases In Which The Formula X^4+Mxxyy+Y^4 Can Be Reduced To A Square, Georg Ehlers

Euleriana

Euler continues a previous study on the title Quartic (E696) with a new approach. His starting point here is the observation that, when the title Quartic is solved for m, the resulting fraction becomes an integer when z=ax^2y^2-(x^2±y^2). He provides many quadratic forms for m that allow special solutions, and tables for |m|≤200. Even though the tables are known today to be incomplete, they allow an insight into the enormous amount of work that was needed for their compilation.

The interest in the title Quartic predates Euler, and the fact that he resumed the study indicates a …

Ed Sandifer: A Running Mathematician And Mathematical Runner, Rick Cleary

Euleriana

Historian of mathematics C. Edward Sandifer was an outstanding marathon runner as well as a first rate mathematician. This note is a review of Prof. Sandifer's athletic successes, and a look at the attributes that he brought to both his professional and running careers.

Math 75: Introduction To Linear Algebra, Sarah K. Merz

Pacific Open Texts

This text is intended to use in a first course of Linear Algebra with a prerequisite of Calculus 1. Topics covered include systems of linear equations, matrix operations and inverses, linear transformations, Markov chains, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalization, vector geometry, projections and planes, homogeneous coordinates, subspaces, spanning sets, linear independence, orthogonality, fundamental subspaces, and least squares.

Euler Archive Spotlight: Multiple Search Options, Christopher Goff

Euleriana

The Euler Archive houses PDF versions of almost all of Euler's original publications. While most visitors search the archive via a work's Eneström number, the Archive can be searched via source publication name, date written, or decade of publication. The Archive also provides context for Euler's publications through short pieces of historical information.

Euler And A Proof Of The Functional Equation For The Riemann Zeta-Function He Could Have Given, Alexander Aycock

Euleriana

We explain how Euler could have proved a functional equation, which is equivalent to the one for the Riemann zeta-function, that he conjectured in his paper {\it ``Remarques sur un beau rapport entre les series des puissances tant directes que reciproques"} \cite{E352} (E352: ``Remarks on the beautiful relation between the series of the direct and reciprocal powers").

Euler And The Gaussian Summation Formula For The Hypergeometric Series, Alexander Aycock

Euleriana

We show that in his paper {\it ``Plenior expositio serierum illarum memorabilium, quae ex unciis potestatum binomii formantur"} \cite{E663} (E663: ``A more thorough exposition of those memorable series that are formed from the binomial coefficients") Euler could have found the Gaussian summation formula for the hypergeometric series from his own formulas in that same paper, if he actually set the task for himself.

Euler And Homogeneous Difference Equations With Linear Coefficients, Alexander Aycock

Euleriana

We present a method outlined by Euler in his paper{\it ``De fractionibus continuis observationes"} \cite{E123} (E123: ``Observations on continued fractions") that can be used to solve homogeneous difference equations with linear coefficients. We will illustrate his ideas by applying it to two familiar examples and explain how it can be understood from a more modern point of view.

On The Cases In Which The Formula X^4+Kxxyy+Y^4 Can Be Reduced To A Square, Georg Ehlers

Euleriana

Euler’s key idea for equating the Quartic in the title to a square is to set k=P+surd(Q). From this he derives P=f·x^2 and Q=4f·y^2+4 and solves the Pell equation for y. He then discusses various extensions to rational numbers that leave k an integer. Euler provides incomplete tables for integers k with |k|square.

Research On Arithmetic, Erik R. Tou

Euleriana

In this English translation, some of Joseph-Louis Lagrange's early number theory is presented. Here, he laid out a theory of binary quadratic forms with special attention to the representation problem: determining those integers which may be represented by a given form, and cataloguing the possible forms of their divisors.
