À propos de cet audio

Bertrand Russell wrote that mathematics can exalt "as surely as poetry". This is especially true of one equation: ei(pi) + 1 = 0, the brainchild of Leonhard Euler, the Mozart of mathematics. More than two centuries after Euler's death, it is still regarded as a conceptual diamond of unsurpassed beauty. Called Euler's identity, or God's equation, it includes just five numbers but represents an astonishing revelation of hidden connections. It ties together everything from basic arithmetic to compound interest, the circumference of a circle, trigonometry, calculus, and even infinity. In David Stipp's hands, Euler's identity becomes a contemplative stroll through the glories of mathematics. The result is an ode to this magical field.

If this book appeared in one of you search results, you should probably read it. While it does contain math, it is of the simple, every day variety - which illustrates the ubiquity of this number. If you know about Euler's number and Euler's Identity. then this is a light hearted and fun discussion. If you don't already know about e, then this book will finally explain why that button is on your calculator and will introduce you to a new world of understanding. Enjoyable at any level.
