Etymology

Named after Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707–1783).

Proper noun

Euler's formula

1. (complex analysis) A formula which links complex exponentiation with trigonometric functions:

   $e^{i\theta }=\cos \theta +i\sin \theta$

2. (differential geometry) A formula which calculates the normal curvature of an arbitrary direction in the tangent plane in terms of the principal curvatures $\kappa _{1}$ and $\kappa _{2}$ and the angle $\theta$ which that direction makes with the first principal direction:

   $\kappa _{n}(\theta )=\kappa _{1}\cos ^{2}\theta +\kappa _{2}\sin ^{2}\theta$
