O artigo e53 de Euler, uma proposta didática para cursos de formação de professores

Abstract

This study comprises an investigative study on the original text of Leonhard Euler which deals with the solution of the problem of the seven bridges of Konigsberg. This work it is guided in the special topic of the history of mathematics for teacher training courses. The objective was to present the student's Degree in Mathematics from the Federal Institute of Piauí / Campus São Raimundo Nonato, a primary source, a text written in the eighteenth century by Euler, the work was the presentation of an activity that had purpose of making students walk the paths that Euler had to pass to reach the conclusion of the problem. The work explores other mathematical discussions in an attempt to find a solution to the problem. The solution Euler presented in Article problematis Solutio ad geometriam situs pertinentis' (Troubleshooting concerning the geometry of position), was divided into 21 sections and commented one by one, this translation was found in Portuguese where we use and we reference the translator. Finally we apply the work in class 8 period Degree in Mathematics IFPI / SRN in the history of the discipline of mathematics.
