¶ Euler (3)
Index Entry
Euler:
"put a hole through it, we find we drop off the two: and then it is vertexes plus faces equals edges. The plus two comes from coring, like coring an apple, which is to take out the axis.
“My identification of plus twoness is verified as it has shown up in the number of balls in any layer. In the round affair the two related to the axis of spin is inherent for any system, so we now allow the energy to account for the spinning.”
