As an example of these artistic movements are surrealism, expressionism, futurism

    stretching as far as basic algebra and geometry to the complexity of lunar motion and the calculation of planetary orbits. Even as a child Euler was distinguished for his phenomenal memory; attending the University of Basel at the age 13, hoped to follow in his father's footsteps in becoming a minister. Ultimately this is where his abilities in mathematics and science really began to shine. Of course in the long run he is face to face with some obstacles that he unfortunately

    In the book Horror in Architecture, horror is defined in various ways, from horror being the truth about abstraction to horror reorienting the notion that what exists is not necessarily all that might be. Eight different typologies of horror are identified which includes Doubles and Clones, Exquisite Corpse, Partially and Mostly Dead, Reiteration and Reflexivity, Incontinent Object, Trojan Horse, Homunculism and Gigantism, Solidity, Mass, Stereotomy, Distortion, and Disproportion. The typology

    Leonhard studied at Basel University and met Johann Bernoulli who he studied under for a while. Leonhard lived with his grandmother for most of the time he spent studying at Basel. The school he attended was rather poor and he barely learned any mathematics from his school. His interest in mathematics definitely sparked from his father’s lessons, and

    The aim of this investigation is to prove Euler’s identity and find its beauty in mathematics and further applications. I got interested in Euler’s identity, because it was one key formula introduced in a Japanese novel called The Housekeeper and the Professor written by Yoko Ogawa, which is one of my favorite book. This novel is about an old professor, who was a former mathematician and can remember a new memory that last only 80 minutes, and family of his housekeeper. In the story, the professor
