Has anyone made a Venn Diagram of the differences and similarities between Euler Diagrams and Venn Diagrams before? '''Tiny Desk Engineer''' ([[User talk:TinyDeskEngineer|talk]]) "My user page can't be vandalized if it never existed" 21:30, 6 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
:Yes. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_diagram#/media/File%3AEuler_and_Venn_diagrams.svg [[User:John|John]] ([[User talk:John|talk]]) 12:19, 7 January 2023 (UTC)<br />

I made a transcript. {{User:PoolloverNathan/Signature}} 21:34, 6 January 2023 (UTC)<br />

Other things named after Euler include: {{w|Euler method}}, {{w|Euler angles}}, {{w|Euler equations (fluid dynamics)}}, and lots of other stuff in this article: {{w|Contributions of Leonhard Euler to mathematics}}.

I can't hear Euler without thinking of one episode of Big Bang Theory when they were goofing around with a Euler Disk. :) [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 06:04, 7 January 2023 (UTC)<br />

If we are gonna nitpick numbers are Euler's '''Words'''; Single digit would be Euler's '''Letter''' [[Special:Contributions/172.68.51.159|172.68.51.159]] 17:42, 7 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
:came for this. Of course, in English '''a''' and '''I''' would be in the intersection of Euler numbers and Euler digits. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.50.51|172.68.50.51]] 11:51, 8 January 2023 (UTC)<br />

This is probably a response to comments he presumably received about past comics (e.g. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Euler_diagrams) which were Euler diagrams labelled Venn [[Special:Contributions/172.69.22.62|172.69.22.62]] 20:31, 7 January 2023 (UTC)<br />

Don’t forget Eulerian graphs! [[User:Klevasseur|Klevasseur]] ([[User talk:Klevasseur|talk]]) 22:09, 7 January 2023 (UTC)<br />

John Venn's cricket bowling machine would bowl cricket balls, like a baseball pitching machine. It was not a tiny pinsetter. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.110.236|172.70.110.236]] 23:34, 7 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
:...it took a while for me to get the reason for that statement, Grasshopper. Spent far too long thinking about how (and, indeed, ''why'') you'd use an automated stump-resetting machine (or two, one at each end) when there are several people pretty much on the spot(s) already. ;) [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.224|172.70.85.224]] 02:54, 8 January 2023 (UTC)<br />

TIL that Carroll diagrams (1886) actually postdate Venn diagrams (1881); they're different ways of doing the same thing, and I was under the impression that Carroll did it first. I like Carroll's version better for being able to un-awkwardly portray ''all eight'' options, though, instead of merely seven. --[[Special:Contributions/172.70.200.143|172.70.200.143]] 23:18, 8 January 2023 (UTC)<br />
