Talk:Euler's identity

From Silicopedia

Nahin's book listed as 2011 in the body but cited as 2006 in the sources

Under the "Mathematical beauty" section, the article lists three popular books on Euler's identity, giving the first as: "Dr. Euler's Fabulous Formula: Cures Many Mathematical Ills, by Paul Nahin (2011)". The inline citation for that entry also records |date=2011. However, the "Sources" section at the foot of the article lists the same work as "Nahin, Paul J. (2006), Dr. Euler's Fabulous Formula: Cures Many Mathematical Ills, Princeton University Press". The 2006 entry is the first (hardcover) edition; a Princeton Science Library paperback followed in 2011. Because the article cites and quotes the book in its prose (e.g. "of exquisite beauty"), there should be a single consistent edition date throughout. Either the prose list should say 2006 (first edition) or the Sources entry should be updated to 2011 (paperback), so that readers can verify the citation without confusion.
