The Euler-Mascheroni Constant

Remember the harmonic series? More often than not, it serves as one’s first encounter with a series wherein individual terms diminish successively yet the series diverges to infinity. The below quote nicely sums the up notoriousness of the harmonic series: Today I said to my calculus students, “I know,

About Euler’s Identity

It is so famous and well-known, that I feel adding any praise to it would only decrease its value 🙂 It is often cited as one of the most beautiful equations ever, by maths funs and others as well.
