E80 -- Opuscula varii argumenti.
Various short works on reason
Summary:
E80 is one of an unusual group of Enestrom numbers. It refers to a collection of articles
which were published together (in this case E86-E91), but which are (usually)
about different topics.
E80 is usually referred to as Opuscula Varii Argumenti, volume 1, as it part of a three
volume series. The other two parts are:
Publication:
- Originally published as a book in 1746.
- For information on publication in the Opera Omnia, see the individual works
below.
Documents Available:
- As mentioned above, E80 is in fact a collection of 6 works of Euler. For the
original documents, see the page corresponding work:

- E87 Tabulae astronomicae solis et lunae
- E88 Nova theoria lucis et colorum
