Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Computer program | | French term or phrase: sigma critique Euler | This is probably a somewhat abbreviated expression as it is a text or comment available to be displayed by a computer program. The "sentence" is:
"Erreur, sigma critique Euler : division par zéro!"
I have tried Googling but, though I have more or less got my head around a Euler number being about logarithms, I am afraid I am not a mathematician and the phrase still means nothing to me. All I really want to know is how to put it equally briefly in UK English. |

| | Euler critical stress | Explanation:
sigma critique Euler is concerned with the critical stress ocurring when multiple loads are applied (critical in the sense that it refers to the point at which the system collapses). As mentioned in Daniel's reference info, the calculation involves number series (sequence of terms of increasing or diminishing importance making up the whole) and each of these terms depends on an arithmetic division. If any one of those operations has a term where a number is divided by zero (0), the whole computation will crash, giving Asker's error message.
I would be inclined to put 'stress' rather than 'sigma' in the translation, as being (perhaps) more meaningful to the software user.
