Euler's Idenity: Zero

Image
 Euler's Identity Zero On "Pi Day," 3.14 (March 14), I posted about my books on the fundamental constants of Euler's Identity:       Missing from my set was zero.  I have since, acquired, and read the missing  biography of that component.        Here's the Euler set now... Charles Seife, in his Zero, fills the void, or rather, illuminates the void.  Zero's inseparable companion, infinity... ∞ plays a major role.    

PI DAY

14 March 2021 TODAY, 3/14, IS PI DAY You know, as in π = 3.14 + infinitely more numbers.  I have a fascination with the fundamental mathematical constants and their beautiful connection demonstrated by Euler's Identity:   You can read all about it on Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity My bookshelf keeps hi sto ries of e, i, and  π.  I don't know if there are books on the other two fundamentals, 0 and 1.
