Euler's Pioneering Equation by Robin J. Wilson

A concise exploration of the famous equation that links e, i, π, 1 and 0, this book explains the mathematical derivations and intuitive ideas behind it, situates the identity within Euler’s broader body of work and 18th-century mathematics, and examines its proofs, extensions and cultural appeal; blending history, exposition and examples, it shows how a short formula encapsulates deep connections across algebra, geometry and analysis and illuminates the methods and creativity that produced it.
