    How Euler Did It by Ed Sandifer Estimating π February 2009 On Friday, June 7, 1779, Leonhard Euler sent a paper [E705] to the regular twice-weekly meeting of the St. Petersburg Academy. Euler, blind and disillusioned with the corruption of Domaschneff, the President of the Academy, seldom attended the meetings himself, so he sent one of his assistants, Nicolas Fuss, to read the paper to the ten members of the Academy who attended the meeting. The paper bore the cumbersome title "Investigatio quarundam serierum quae ad rationem peripheriae circuli ad diametrum vero proxime definiendam maxime sunt accommodatae" (Investigation of certain series which are designed to approximate the true ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter very closely." Up to this point, Euler had shown relatively little interest in the value of π, though he had standardized its notation, using the symbol π to denote the ratio of a circumference to a diameter consistently since 1736, and he found π in a great many places outside circles. In a paper he wrote in 1737, [E74] Euler surveyed the history of calculating the value of π. He mentioned Archimedes, Machin, de Lagny, Leibniz and Sharp. The main result in E74 was to discover a number of arctangent identities along the lines of ! 1 1 1 = 4 arctan " arctan + arctan 4 5 70 99 and to propose using the Taylor series expansion for the arctangent function, which converges fairly rapidly for small values, to approximate π. Euler also spent some time in that paper finding ways to approximate the logarithms of trigonometric functions, important at the time in navigation tables.

  • Fundamental Theorems in Mathematics
    SOME FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS IN MATHEMATICS OLIVER KNILL Abstract. An expository hitchhikers guide to some theorems in mathematics. Criteria for the current list of 243 theorems are whether the result can be formulated elegantly, whether it is beautiful or useful and whether it could serve as a guide [6] without leading to panic. The order is not a ranking but ordered along a time-line when things were writ- ten down. Since [556] stated “a mathematical theorem only becomes beautiful if presented as a crown jewel within a context" we try sometimes to give some context. Of course, any such list of theorems is a matter of personal preferences, taste and limitations. The num- ber of theorems is arbitrary, the initial obvious goal was 42 but that number got eventually surpassed as it is hard to stop, once started. As a compensation, there are 42 “tweetable" theorems with included proofs. More comments on the choice of the theorems is included in an epilogue. For literature on general mathematics, see [193, 189, 29, 235, 254, 619, 412, 138], for history [217, 625, 376, 73, 46, 208, 379, 365, 690, 113, 618, 79, 259, 341], for popular, beautiful or elegant things [12, 529, 201, 182, 17, 672, 673, 44, 204, 190, 245, 446, 616, 303, 201, 2, 127, 146, 128, 502, 261, 172].

  • Power Series
    EVALUATION OF POWER SERIES TSOGTGEREL GANTUMUR Abstract. We consider the evaluation of elementary transcendental functions such as ex, log x, sin x, arctan x, with the help of power series. We also discuss power series algorithms for computing the digits of π. Some notes on historically important algorithms are included. Contents 1. Taylor polynomials 1 2. Roundoff error analysis 4 3. The exponential function 6 4. Logarithmic functions 8 5. Trigonometric functions 11 6. Inverse trigonometric functions 15 7. Computation of π 15 1. Taylor polynomials After the basic arithmetic and comparison operations, the next important√ operations for real number computations are the evaluation of elementary functions such as x, exp x, log x, sin x, and arctan x. Each of these functions can be represented as a power series, which yields an efficient way to approximately evaluate the function. In fact, the discovery or power series in the 17-th century led to a huge leap in the computational capability of humans. Let us start by fixing some terminology. Definition 1. A function f ∶ (a; b) → R is called analytic at c ∈ (a; b) if it is developable into a power series around c, i.e, if there are coefficients an ∈ R and r > 0 such that ∞ n f(x) = ∑ an(x − c) ; for all x ∈ (c − r; c + r): (1) n=0 Moreover, f is said to be analytic in (a; b) if it is analytic at each c ∈ (a; b). Remark 2. (a) This definition can be extended to complex valued functions f ∶ Ω ⊂ C → C in a straightforward way.

  • The Origin of the Prime Number Theorem
    The Origin of the Prime Number Theorem Dominic Klyve∗ March 6, 2019 Introduction At least since the time of the ancient Greeks and Euclid's Elements, mathematicians have known that there are infinitely many primes. It seems that it wasn't until the eighteenth century, however, that they turned their attention to the task of estimating the number of primes up to an arbitrary value x. The study of this count of primes, often denoted with the function π(x), continues to be an active topic of research today.1 Although good approximations to π(x) have been found, mathematicians continue to find better bounds on the \error" provided by these approximations. In this project, we will look at the work of the first two mathematicians who made a careful study of values of π(x), and compare their conjectures about how the function behaves. Part 1: Legendre's book We look first at the work of Adrien-Marie Legendre (1752{1833). Legendre worked in several fields of mathematics, but in this project we are most concerned with his Essai sur la Th´eoriedes Nombres (Essay on Number Theory) [Legendre, 1808] { the first number theory textbook ever written. Legendre's book covered a large number of topics, only one of which was prime numbers. In the eighth section of the fourth chapter of his more than 500-page book, Legendre wrote about his discoveries and conjectures concerning the enumeration of primes.2 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111 On a very remarkable law observed in the enumeration of prime numbers Although the sequence of prime numbers is extremely irregular, one can however find, with a very satisfying precision, how many of these numbers there are from 1 up to a given limit x.

  • Austrian Authors of Tables of Logarithms Around 1800
    Austrian authors of Tables of Logarithms around 1800 Dr. Gerlinde FAUSTMANN BRG-Gröhrmühlgasse, Gröhrmühlgasse 27, 2700 Wiener Neustadt, Austria [email protected] 1 Introduction Figure 1: Historical overview Several tables of logarithms were published by Austrian mathematicians during the politically turbulent time around 1800. The militarist and professor of mathematics Georg of Vega calculated tables of logarithms for pupils, mathematicians, astronomers, navigators, professors and several mathematics fanciers who had to make exact calculations. His contemporary Leopold of Unterberger published tables of logarithms too. Vega’s student Ignaz Lindner supported him with the calculation of logarithms and created his own tables later. The tables of logarithms of Johann Pasquich, a priest and friend of Vega’s, are not very well known. In this paper a short overview of the biographies of Georg of Vega (1754 – 1802), Leopold of Unterberger (1734 – 1818), Ignaz Lindner (1777 – 1835) and Johann Pasquich (1753 – 1829) will be given. Furthermore, their tables of logarithms will be introduced and an insight into the methods of calculation will be given. 1 2 Georg of Vega Figure 2: Jurij Vega - Matej Sternen, 1938 University of Pittsburg, ZDA 2.1 Biography During a politically turbulent time Georg Vega was born in Zagorica (Slovenia) on March 23, 1754. Figure 3: Vega’s birthplace – picture Faustmann, 2014 Queen Maria Theresa was reigning since the year 1740 and the opposition to the Prussian King Frederick II was her most difficult task. In 1780 Vega entered the artillery and was awarded the lectureship of mathematics in the academy for artillery in Vienna. One year later he got his first military degree.

  • At the 300Th Anniversary of the Birth of Maria Theresa This Year We
    At the 300th Anniversary of the Birth of Maria Theresa This year we justifiably reflect upon the historical memory of the enlightened sovereign Maria Theresa (1777-1780). Through the four decades of her rule (1740-1780) Idrija experienced visible progress in all areas of public life: it obtained town privileges, population increased to 3,000 and it was considered the second largest town in the then territory of Carniola for one and a half century (until 1918). The Idrija mercury mine contributed greatly to the income of the imperial treasury of the empress Maria Theresa, which is why Idrija was granted the status of higher mining office by the “empress” in 1747. The Viennese imperial court wisely assigned capable mining administrators and experienced professionals who deepened the shafts and tunnels, modernised metallurgical units, assembled new “Spanish” furnaces, skilfully made vaulted ceilings in the oldest part of the mine (Anthony’s Shaft) and developed the wooden “Rake”, a 3.5-metre-long energy canal. The mighty river barriers built around 1770 on the Idrijca, Belca and Zala ensured that the mine and town were supplied with floated wood for the next 150 years. At the same time a monumental wheat storehouse (Magazin) was built in the centre of the town and beside it the Theresian theatre, which is now considered the oldest preserved theatre building in Slovenia. In accordance with the enlightened standpoint of Maria Theresa, her advisors and mining administration Idrija became the cradle of professional education. The polytechnician and constructor of water barriers (Klavže) Jožef Mrak headed the land and mine surveying – cartographic school.

After the completion of his studies, he became a navigation engineer. In 1780, he entered military service and became professor of mathematics at the artillery school in Vienna. In 1784, he became lieutenant. Vega participated in several wars, in particular from 1788 to 1791 between Austria and Turkey, and in 1795 he did in particular improve the design of some mortars for a more distant firing range. He became a baron in 1800 and he died in 1802, possibly murdered.
