  2. Euler numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_numbers

    The Euler numbers appear in the Taylor series expansions of the secant and hyperbolic secant functions. The latter is the function in the definition. The latter is the function in the definition. They also occur in combinatorics , specifically when counting the number of alternating permutations of a set with an even number of elements.

  3. e (mathematical constant) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)

    The number e is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828 that is the base of the natural logarithm and exponential function.It is sometimes called Euler's number, after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, though this can invite confusion with Euler numbers, or with Euler's constant, a different constant typically denoted .

  4. Euler characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_characteristic

    For every combinatorial cell complex, one defines the Euler characteristic as the number of 0-cells, minus the number of 1-cells, plus the number of 2-cells, etc., if this alternating sum is finite. In particular, the Euler characteristic of a finite set is simply its cardinality, and the Euler characteristic of a graph is the number of ...

  5. Leonhard Euler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonhard_Euler

    Euler describes 18 such genres, with the general definition 2 m A, where A is the "exponent" of the genre (i.e. the sum of the exponents of 3 and 5) and 2 m (where "m is an indefinite number, small or large, so long as the sounds are perceptible" [114]), expresses that the relation holds independently of the number of octaves concerned.

  6. Proof that e is irrational - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_that_e_is_irrational

    The number e was introduced by Jacob Bernoulli in 1683. More than half a century later, Euler , who had been a student of Jacob's younger brother Johann , proved that e is irrational ; that is, that it cannot be expressed as the quotient of two integers.

  7. Lucky numbers of Euler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_numbers_of_Euler

    Leonhard Euler published the polynomial k 2 − k + 41 which produces prime numbers for all integer values of k from 1 to 40. Only 6 lucky numbers of Euler exist, namely 2, 3, 5, 11, 17 and 41 (sequence A014556 in the OEIS). [1] Note that these numbers are all prime numbers. The primes of the form k 2 − k + 41 are

  8. Euler's constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_constant

    Using the same approach, in 2013, M. Ram Murty and A. Zaytseva showed that the generalized Euler constants have the same property, [3] [44] [45] where the generalized Euler constant are defined as = (= ⁡ = ()), where ⁠ ⁠ is a fixed list of prime numbers, () = if at least one of the primes in ⁠ ⁠ is a prime factor of ⁠ ⁠, and ...
