Numbers that generate primes using a certain prime generating polynomial are known as his lucky numbers and Gauss proved this man's law of quadratic reciprocity. His product formula can be used along with the Riemann zeta function to prove the infinitude of primes and he proposed a value of pi squared over 6 as the solution to Mengoli's Basel problem. He demonstrated why it was impossible to transverse the Pregel river using each of the seven bridges of Koningsberg only once and his identity, e to the i times pi equals negative 1, contains several symbols he popularized. For 10 points, name this Swiss mathematician, after whom the base of the natural log is named.
