    The symbol was introduced originally in 1770 by Nicolas de Condorcet, who used it for a partial differential, and adopted for the partial derivative by Adrien-Marie Legendre in 1786. [3] It represents a specialized cursive type of the letter d , just as the integral sign originates as a specialized type of a long s (first used in print by ...

    According to the fundamental lemma of calculus of variations, the part of the integrand in parentheses is zero, i.e. ′ = which is called the Euler–Lagrange equation. The left hand side of this equation is called the functional derivative of J [ f ] {\displaystyle J[f]} and is denoted δ J {\displaystyle \delta J} or δ f ( x ...

  9. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    Euler's formula is ubiquitous in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering. The physicist Richard Feynman called the equation "our jewel" and "the most remarkable formula in mathematics". [2] When x = π, Euler's formula may be rewritten as e iπ + 1 = 0 or e iπ = −1, which is known as Euler's identity.
