"The Euler-Mascheroni constant also called Euler's constant is a mathematical constant recurring in analysis and number theory usually denoted by the lowercase Greek letter gamma."E44: "This is an extensive paper that develops a method for finding a family of curves arising from the constant of integration of dz = Pdx which is treated as the second variable; the rudiments of partial differentiation are presented and there is an extensive survey of homogeneous functions centred around what is now know as Euler's Theorem for such functions. The origins of this paper would seem to be Proposition 15 of Vol. 2 of the Mechanica relating to families of tautochronous curves where an integration relying on Euler's Theorem is required." Ian Bruce.E45: Here Euler introduces the FUNCTION NOTATION fx. "This is an equally extensive paper that continues the development of methods for finding a family of curves arising from the constant of integration of dz = Pdx which is treated as the second variable. A method is developed for finding the modular equation for the first order equation that is extended to cover a number of cases; this in turn is extended to second and higher orders. The method involves finding suitable functions to integrate starting from a part of the modular equation that is integrable so that the whole equation is of this form. This paper is noteworthy in addition as it seems to be the first in which the function notation albeit in a slightly different form from the modern meaning is introduce. I have not been able to check all the equations at this stage."Ian Bruce.This section also contains DANIEL BERNOULLI: Demonstrationes theorematum svorum de oscillationibus corporum filo flexili connexorum et catenae verticaliter suspensae.

"Newton had calculated from the Earth's rotational force at the Equator that its equatoeial diameter should exceed its polar diameter by 0.44 per cent or 27 km 17 miles; similar in Jupiter rotating more than twice as fast the disparity of the diameters was shown to be even greater. In France however tha Cassinis from geodetic measurements stretching along the meridian at Paris from the Channel to the Pyrennees came to exactly the opposite conclusion - that the polar diameter of the Earth was the greater. After Maupertuis had examined this imcompatibility in 1733 the Academy of Sciences decided that it should be settled by measure of a degree of latitude taken in two widely separated parts of the globe. Maupertuis with Clairaut took a party to the Golf ofBothnia. La Condamine with Bouguer took another to Peru. maupertuis departed in May 1736 and was absent for a year only in December 1737 was he able to announce the result that in accordance with Newton's dynamical theory the degreee in the far north was loner than that in Paris. More years elepsed before the degreee in Peru was found to be shorter. As Voltaire put in a wrily witty but un-Baconian couplet addresseed to Maupertuis:"In tedious deserts you were forced to roam. To find the truth that Newton knew at home." Rupert Hall "Revolution in Science 1500-1750 pp.351-52.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1736-37 E. </em> unknown

This interval is sufficiently small that the beats can be counted for low pitches. Furthermore the interval can be obtained accurately by tuning through thirds and perfect fifths for example by tuning up two major thirds and then down a fifth. As a results of experiments done with Deslander and organ builder Sauveur found that the frequency of an organ pipe five Paris feet long was between 100 and 102 cps.
