“Gentlemen, that is surely true, it is absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it, and we don’t know what it means. But we have proved it, and therefore we know it must be the truth.” —Benjamin ...

The transcendental number π is as familiar as it is ubiquitous, but how does Euler’s number e transcend the ordinary? 4 pieces: 2.5 × 2.5 × 2.5 × 2.5 = 39.06 5 pieces: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32 6 pieces: ...

At first glance, the multisets of positive integers that add to n, known as integer partitions, and Euler’s number e do not have much in common. However, if you take the reciprocal product of the ...
