In 1737 Leonard Euler gave what we often now think of as a new proof, based on infinite series, of Euclid's theorem that there are infinitely many prime numbers. Our short paper uses a simple modification of Euler's argument to obtain new…

Euler starts with a hypergeometric series F(a, b, c, x), and differentiates it to get a functional relation. This relation is today known as Euler's identity. Then he integrates to get another and ends up with something like Legendre…

Euler proves that the sum of two 4th powers can't be a 4th power and that the difference of two distinct non-zero 4th powers can't be a 4th power and Fermat's theorem that the equation x(x+1)/2=y^4 can only be solved in integers if x=1 and…
