expression
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:
2⁢ⅇx⁢tⅇt+1=∑n=0∞⁡E⁡n,x⁢tnn!
The nth Euler number E(n) is defined by the exponential generating function:
2ⅇt+ⅇ−t=∑n=0∞⁡E⁡n⁢tnn!
The nth Euler polynomial E(n, x) and the nth Euler number E(n) are related by the following equation:
E⁡n=2n⁢E⁡n,12
