Fuck, marry, Kill:

e, i, π

Fuck: i (it could do things you can only imagine)

Marry: π (it's unending just like it's love, and it's just kinda cool)

Kill: e (All it wants to do is oil(er) up)

Leonhard Euler from real life (he's a mathematician)

[weeping-wandrian]

writing fanfic is fucking bullshit cause you'll be reading the wikipedia page for 18th century swiss mathematician and physicist daniel bernoulli and notice that an entire section about fluid dynamics was plagiarized from a 1997 article. and just posting a comment on the talk page isn't enough you have to know WHO did the plagiarizing so you go through the edit history and find the person who did it but first you see a lot of wikipedia vandalism (did bernoulli like to lick his bunghole? some sources say yes) and begin wondering if anyone's written euler/bernoulli rpf. anyway you leave a comment on the talk page so it's somebody else's problem now because you have shit to do. and you go back to your fic to write that throwaway line about fluid dynamics and realize that. you still don't fucking know anything about fluid dynamics. it's been an hour.

The first recorded use of π as a mathematical symbol comes from the Welsh mathematician William Jones in a 1706 work called Synopsis Palmariorum Matheseos in which he abbreviated the Greek περιφέρεια to its first letter: π.

He wrote: “3.14159 andc. = π”

He explained that he chose this symbol because it was the initial letter of the word ‘Periphery’ or ‘Circumference.'

However, the use of π as a standard notation for Pi was popularized by another mathematician, Leonhard Euler, who adopted it in 1737.

Euler was one of the most influential and prolific mathematicians of all time.

He used π extensively in his work on calculus, number theory, geometry, and physics.

He wrote:

“Let π denote the ratio of the diameter of a circle to its circumference."

Since then, π has become a universal symbol for pi and one of the most recognizable and celebrated mathematical constants in the world.

William Jones, FRS (1675 – 1 July 1749) was a Welsh mathematician, most noted for his use of the symbol π (the Greek letter Pi) to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

He was a close friend of Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Edmund Halley.

In November 1711, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society and later its vice-president.

Leonhard Euler (15 April 1707 – 18 September 1783) was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, geographer, logician, and engineer who founded the studies of graph theory and topology.

He made pioneering and influential discoveries in many other branches of mathematics, such as analytic number theory, complex analysis, and infinitesimal calculus.

He introduced much of modern mathematical terminology and notation, including the notion of a mathematical function.

He is also known for his work in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, astronomy, and music theory.

Euler: *goes to Königsberg

Guy accompanying him: Please for the love of god we are on vacation do not subject any of us to more math problems

Euler: Look at these cool bridges

Euler:

Euler: Hey guess what

Letter from Alexis Clairaut to Leonhard Euler, dated 24 July 1750

This aged as bad as it possibly could.

(Context: Voltaire already liked to make jokes and make fun of Euler even before anything happened. And when the conflict involving Maupertuis and Friedrich and the sort happened, Euler was like, Voltaire's second main target. A lot of shit went down that basically ended well for nobody. So welp.)
