Description

• 

The function euler computes the nth Euler number, or the nth Euler polynomial in x.

• 

The nth Euler polynomial E(n, x) is defined by the exponential generating function:

2ⅇxtⅇt+1=n=0En,xtnn!

• 

The nth Euler number E(n) is defined by the exponential generating function:

2ⅇt+ⅇt=n=0Entnn!

• 

The nth Euler polynomial E(n, x) and the nth Euler number E(n) are related by the following equation:

En=2nEn,12
