Leonhard Euler Pillows
Main Tag:
Description: e^iπ + 1 = 0. Five constants. One equation. The most compact summary of mathematical truth ever written. This illustration puts Euler in his study, holding the blackboard with the equation that connects five fundamental numbers in mathematics, surrounded by the polyhedra and graph theory that filled the rest of his career. He went blind in one eye at 28 and continued at the same rate. Eventually lost both and produced even more. For the mathematics classroom, anyone who has written this equation on a board and watched a student's expression change. He wrote it first.
