Euler and the Legendre Polynomials
Alexander Aycock
In this note we will present how Euler's investigations on various different subjects lead to certain properties of the Legendre polynomials. More precisely, we will show that the…
Euler's First Proof of Stirling's Formula
Alexander Aycock
We present a proof given by Euler in his paper {\it ``De serierum determinatione seu nova methodus inveniendi terminos generales serierum"} \cite{E189} (E189:``On the determination…
On Euler's Solution of the simple Difference Equation
Alexander Aycock
In this note we will discuss Euler's solution of the simple difference equation that he gave in his paper{\it ``De serierum determinatione seu nova methodus inveniendi terminos gen…
Euler and the Duplication Formula for the Gamma-Function
Alexander Aycock
We show how the formulas in paper Variae considerationes circa series hypergeometricas written by Euler imply the duplication formula for the Gamma-function. This paper can be seen…
