== 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 21 ⟶ 27:

:''you can't simply run around and say "I don't like this, I don't like that" and expect people to follow your cues''

Of course I can; the purpose of talk pages is to say what we like and don't like for others to listen to. But if by "following cues" you mean that you think I'm forcingtrying to force you to do something, I recommend [[WP:TEA]]. [[User:Fredrik|Fredrik Johansson]] 14:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

:I suggest this page be gradually phased out, either adding material to the main Euler article, or adding material to specific technical mathematical articles. The "Graph Theory" section here, for example, seems to be completely redundant. [[User:Radagast3|Radagast3]] ([[User talk:Radagast3|talk]]) 13:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

== Correctly defined? ==

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:

*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20060925132713/http://web.mat.bham.ac.uk/C.J.Sangwin/euler/index.html to http://web.mat.bham.ac.uk/C.J.Sangwin/euler/index.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
