This is a translation from Latin of E348 'Methodus facilis motus corporum coelestium utcunque perturbatos ad rationem calculi astronomici revocandi', in which Euler develops a method to alleviate the astronomical computations in a typical…
We consider a classial case of irrational integrals containing a square root of a quadratic polynomial. It is well known that they can be expressed in terms of elementary functions by one of three Euler's substitutions. It is less known…
The title says what is done here. Euler finds a news series for the arc of an ellipse. The paper is translated from the Latin original into German.
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 generating function and the difference equation for the…
In the present paper, we deal with Fourier-transformation of Frobenius-Euler polynomials. We shall give its applications by using infinite series. Our applications possess interesting properties which we state in this paper.
Translation of the Latin original, "Methodus generalis investigandi radices omnium aequationum per approximationem" (1776). E643 in the Enestrom index. Euler gives a series to find powers of roots of polynomials.
Euler investigates the Taylorseries of (1+x+xx)^n and uses the results to evaluates some integrals which are today often proved with the calculus of residues.
We shall consider some special generalizations of Euler's factorial series. First we construct Pad\'e approximations of the second kind for these series. Then these approximations are applied to study global relations of certain p-adic…

We extend the theory of Euler integration from the class of constructible functions to that of "tame" real-valued functions (definable with respect to an o-minimal structure). The corresponding integral operator has some unusual defects (it…
In this paper we give an additive representation of the factorial, which can be proven by a simple quick analytical argument. We also present some generalizations, which are linked, on the one hand to an arithmetical theorem proven by Euler…
In this note, we look at some of the less explored aspects of the gamma function. We provide a new proof of Euler's reflection formula and discuss its significance in the theory of special functions. We also discuss a result of Landau…
Let phi denote Euler's phi function. For a fixed odd prime we give an asymptotic series expansion in the sense of Poincare for the number E_q(x) of n<=x such that q does not divide phi(n). Thereby we improve on a recent theorem of B.K.…
Translation from the Latin original, "Inventio summae cuiusque seriei ex dato termino generali" (1735). E47 in the Enestrom index. In this paper Euler derives the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula, by expressing y(x-1) with the Taylor…
This is a translation from the Latin original, "De valoribus integralium a termino variabilis x=0 usque ad x=infinity extensorum" (1781). This is E675 in the Enestrom index. Euler wants to find the location of the end point of a clothoid, a…
For a Riemann integrable function on an interval and for a point therein,we define 'Fourier series at the point on the interval' and bring out how and when the function element becomes expressible as Fourier series.In this process,we also…
We show that an apparently overlooked result of Euler from \cite{E421} is essentially equivalent to the general multiplication formula for the $\Gamma$-function that was proven by Gauss in \cite{Ga28}.
Sequence transformations are valuable numerical tools that have been used with considerable success for the acceleration of convergence and the summation of diverging series. However, our understanding of their theoretical properties is far…
We consider different generalizations of the Euler formula and discuss the properties of the associated trigonometric functions. The problem is analyzed from different points of view and it is shown that it can be formulated in a natural…
