Abstract

The interdisciplinary study explores the Euler's theology through his mathematical landmarks. From the mathematico-theological perspective, we first address Euler's theological backgrounds, and then show the implications of Euler's identity as his mathematical Christology.

이 학제적 연구는 오일러의 수학적 증명과 그의 신학적 입장의 상관성을 조명해 보기 위한 탐색적 시도이다. 이를 위하여 먼저 오일러의 신학적 입장이 논의된다. 그 다음으로 수학신학적 그리스도론으로서 오일러의 항등식이 함의하는 의미가 논의된다.
