"He calculated without effort, as men breathe, or as eagles sustain themselves in the wind."
If only I had the ability to calculate effortlessly in my head. All those quizzes where I was off by a small miscalculation could have been A's. Oh well.
Whilst reading this, I found it hard to recognize the immense genius the reading claimed Euler had. This is chiefly due to the fact that I didn't understand the formulas and rules that the reading presented me saying "This is why Euler was the best!". Although I do recognize the brilliance of Euler's ability to think and comprehend, I simply don't comprehend the amazing things he has produced.
Which leads me to the question, of what practical use are the things Euler created? Are the used in economics? Population growth? Astrophysics? I'm curious as to the proper use of these equations.
I also wrote a haiku about Euler.
Oh dear, I am blind
Not to worry, I have bros
They help me write stuff
