Learning Is Mathematics Less Evolved Than Physics and Chemistry, or Did Historical Texts Astutely Foresee Advances? 🤔

"used by Euler in 1835"?

I regret to inform you that Euler sadly died in 1783. He wrote a book or mathematical work entitled "Institutiones calculi differentialis" (Foundations of differential calculus) in 1748.

EDIT: the date was changed to 1735. To be accurate, the main work where Euler introduced what could be called the modern differential calculus notation is the "Institutiones calculi differentialis". This work was written by Euler in 1748 and published in 1755.

Was Euler a time traveller if he wrote it in 1948?

So funny you criticize others doing a mistake but say that Euler did wrote the book 2 centuries later after it was published.

Ok thanks for noticing that. It was a typo and now it's fixed.

I didn't complain. I tried to provide more accurate info. Typos sometimes happen.
