Euler's Amazing Way to Solve Equations.
Flusser, Peter
Mathematics Teacher, v85 n3 p224-27 Mar 1992
Presented is a series of examples that illustrate a method of solving equations developed by Leonhard Euler based on an unsubstantiated assumption. The method integrates aspects of recursion relations and sequences of converging ratios and can be extended to polynomial equation with infinite exponents. (MDH)
