Elkies’ paper examined a series of numbers discovered by influential 18th century mathematician Leonhard Euler...
...combinatorial problem involving ‘up-down permutations’ such as 2 1 7 3 4 < 10—the number of ways to distribute the numbers 1 through 10 to make this work is 50521, same as the numerator of the 10th Euler formula...
...falls by the wayside, what then? No other common mathematical constant has such holiday potential. Euler's constant e (2.71828...) would be blocked by the arbitrary constraints of the calendar; it could be neither Feb. 71 nor Feb. 7 at 1:82 p.m. The same goes for the Golden Ratio, 1.618...
