Euler's Gem: A gem itself.
When I became aware of the formula " e to the i pi plus one equals zero" I thought that, for sure, there was a god, and he/she/it was a mathematician (among other things). Euler developed this formula, too, as the book describes.
The bok is really a history lesson in mathematics, and in context with other developments and events that are more familiar to the history student.
If you love mathematics, and history, as I do, this is a real treat. Don't miss it.
