Knobloch, Eberhard (Author)
Leonhard Euler was one of the most creative mathematicians of all time. One of the characteristics of his creativity is his transgression or removal of limits. Four examples are discussed in order to illustrate this assertion. 1. Mathematical rigour: Euler claimed to have restored mathematical rigour in the analysis of the infinite. 2. Zeta-function for s = 2: Euler found the value of the series of the reciprocal square numbers by treating it as an algebraic equation of infinite degree. 3. Divergent series: He introduced a new notion of sum in order to avoid the use of divergent series. 4. Music theory: He abolished the distinction between consonances and dissonances.
