‎First printing of a major mathematical paper in Number Theory in which Euler solves the Basel Problem. Euler finds an exact expression for the sum of the squares of the reciprocals of the positive integers, namely pi2/6. It was ""Euler’s first celebrated achievement ... his solution in 1735 of the ""Basel Problem""..."" (Ed Sandifer).""This is one of Euler's most celebrated papers, in which he demonstrates formulas such as Pi 2= sum of the inverse squares of the positive integers, and many more, on equating the sine expansion of a circular arc to the infinite product of the simple factors of the associated multiple arcs."" (Ian Bruce).Enestroem E41.‎
