True but publication standards change over time. If none of Euler’s publications are “trivial” in the sense that processors will gloss over the proof during lectures that would be surprising.
- pmiller2 6y agoThat would be surprising. But, my experience has generally been that when a result of Euler comes up in class, it's more frequently preceded with "this was published by Euler but not really rigorously proven." Standards of proof were obviously different 250 years ago.
