Re: needed: a mathematician (fwd) Euler (fwd)
From
Date
Body
------------------ ahem
I have a bachelor's degree of mathematics,
and one very minor published paper to my name
so until someone better comes along, here I am
Euler was the most prolific mathematician in
history
his complete works are still in the process of
being published (or were, the last time I checked,
which come to think of it, was 15 years ago)
his name occurs so often in mathematics that one
shouldn't think it stands for any unifying concept
beyond this, I would need to see the actual ADA
reference to say anything more concrete
