De Indorum Anno Solari Astronomico, Leonhard Euler

This work is an appendix following two other appendices in a book by Euler's friend and St. Petersbrg Academy colleague T. S. Bayer, Historia regni Graecorum Bactriani (History of the Bactrian kingdom of the Greeks). The original appendices were written by a Danish missionary in Tranquebar, C. T. Walther ("The Indian Doctrine of Time," pp. 145-190), and by Bayer himself, based on his correspondence with Walther and other Tranquebar missionaries ("Supplement to the Indian Doctrine of Time," pp. 191-200). Euler's contribution appears immediately after these.

De Summatione Innumerabilium Progressionum, Leonhard Euler

This paper concerns the sum of reciprocal squares, which equals π2/6. Euler does not yet have the tools to find this value directly, but instead approximates it as 1.644934. He says this follows from E25 and E19, and also refers us forward to E736. Then Euler brings in the harmonic series: letting f(x) denote the xth partial sum of the harmonic series, he approximates it as an integral and defines his constant γ as the limit of f(x) – log(x).

In this paper, Euler investigates a differential equation that he encountered in finding the arc length of an ellipse. This differential equation cannot be solved by separation of variables, as is indicated in the title of the article. Euler first develops a formula for the arc length of an ellipse by cleverly manipulating a binomial series, then shows that this formula satisfies the desired differential equation. Integrating factors make a brief appearance.

For an equation of degree n, Euler wants to define a "resolvent equation" of degree n-1 whose roots are related to the roots of the original equation. Thus, by solving the resolvent one can solve the original equation. In sections 2 to 7 he works this out for quadratic, cubic, and biquadratic equations. In section 8 Euler says that he wants to try the same approach for solving the quintic equation and general nth degree equations. In the rest of the paper he tries to figure out in what cases resolvents will work.

Mechanica (this volume, along with E15) is Euler's outline of a program of studies embracing every branch of science, involving a systematic application of analysis. It laid the foundations of analytical mechanics, the result of Euler's consideration of the motion produced by forces acting on both free and constrained points. It was also the first published work in which the number e appeared. In this volume, Euler considers motion of a point-mass lying on a given curve or surface. He derives some differential equations of the geodesics governing the problem of free motion on a surface. In this way, …

Mechanica (this volume, along with E16) is Euler's outline of a program of studies embracing every branch of science, involving a systematic application of analysis. It laid the foundations of analytical mechanics, the result of Euler's consideration of the motion produced by forces acting on both free and constrained points. It was also the first published work in which the number e appeared. This volume focuses on the kinematics and dynamics of a point-mass, introducing infinitely small bodies that can be considered to be points under certain assumptions. Euler focuses on single mass-points except for a few pages at …

This article arose out of a homework assignment that Euler did for Johann Bernoulli. Bernoulli asked Euler to find the shortest line between two points on a surface. This work provided some of the first analytical foundations for the calculus of variations.

This article contains Euler's first published use of complex numbers and a many-axis geometric construction. Euler also defines even functions f(x) as those for which f(x) = f(-x), perhaps the first use of this term.

Euler first explains his theory of what makes up the atmosphere; the basis of his theory lies in the theory of elasticity of the teacher he had before Johann Bernoulli. He also states without proof a formula for the speed of propagation and derives from it numerical values of the correct order of magnitude for air.
