Reviews
This is a book for mathematicians who enjoy historically motivated mathematical explanations on a high mathematical level. -- Eberhard Knobloch, Mathematical Reviews, "It is very difficult to sum up the greatness of Euler. . . . This excellent book goes a long way to explaining the kind of mathematician he really was." -- Mathematics Today, "Nahin's tale of the formula e[pi] i+1=0, which links five of the most important numbers in mathematics, is remarkable. With a plethora of historical and anecdotal material and a knack for linking events and facts, he gives the reader a strong sense of what drove mathematicians like Euler." --Matthew Killeya, New Scientist, "What a treasure of a book this is! This is the fourth enthusiastic, informative, and delightful book Paul Nahin has written about the beauties of various areas of mathematics. . . . This book is a marvelous tribute to Euler's genius and those who built upon it and would make a great present for students of mathematics, physics, and engineering and their professors. Paul Nahin's name has been added to my list of those with whom I wouldn't mind being stranded on a desert island--not only would he be informative and entertaining, but he would probably be able to rig a signaling device from sea water and materials strewn along the beach."-- Henry Ricardo, MAA Reviews, Nahin's tale of the formula eÝpi¨ i+1=0, which links five of the most important numbers in mathematics, is remarkable. With a plethora of historical and anecdotal material and a knack for linking events and facts, he gives the reader a strong sense of what drove mathematicians like Euler. -- Matthew Killeya "New Scientist", "It is a 'popular' book, written for a general reader with some mathematical background equivalent to a first-year undergraduate course in the UK." ---Robin Wilson, London Mathematical Society Newsletter, "Nahin includes gems from all over mathematics, ranging from engineering applications to beautiful pure-mathematical identities. Most of his topics lie just beyond the periphery of a typical mathematics course: they are facts, such as the irrationality of pi, that you may have heard of but never had explained in detail. It would be good to have more books like this." ---Timothy Gowers, Nature, "Nahin's tale of the formula e[pi] i+1=0, which links five of the most important numbers in mathematics, is remarkable.

It would be good to have more books like this." --Timothy Gowers, Nature, "The heart and soul of the book are the final three chapters on Fourier series, Fourier integrals, and related engineering.
