Here are the stories of the ten most popular equations of all time as voted for by readers of Physics World, including - accessibly described here for the first time - the favourite equation of all, Euler''s equation.
Each is an equation that captures with beautiful simplicity what can only be described clumsily in words. Euler''s equation [eip + 1 = 0] was described by respondents as ''the most profound mathematic statement ever written'', ''uncanny and sublime'', ''filled with cosmic beauty'' and ''mind-blowing''. Collectively these equations also amount to the world''s most concise and reliable body of knowledge.
Many scientists and those with a mathematical bent have a soft spot for equations. This book explains both why these ten equations are so beautiful and significant, and the human stories behind them.
