== Page is a bad idea ==

This page is a bad idea for many reasons. Since it contains no more content than the section in [[Leonhard Euler]], linking here from that page fools readers who expect to find out more. It is also unmaintainable -- who is going to update one page with changes done to the other? If someone greatly expands this page -- fine, but then someone should do it now. It serves no good purpose as a placeholder in its current state.

Line 31 ⟶ 34:

I removed the claim that Euler correctly defined log(-1). A definition can be more or less useful, but cannot be correct or incorrect. Also it was not a stupid definition the pre_euler people had. In introductory calculus it would simplify many fomrulas if log(-x) = log(x), in addition to preserving the additive property.

== External links modified ==

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on [[Contributions of Leonhard Euler to mathematics]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=795193603 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
