Lol, that's quite indirect!
By the way, there are lots of things Euler did that are much better-known than the series you wrote..

thats the Basel problem. It has the name of the city itself. Of course Euler has more well-known math stuffs such as e^i.pi + 1 = 0 and the euler number (e) itself. I post that series because it has the name of the city itself, and the first time I heard the name "Basel" was around 3 years ago when I saw the name of the problem (Basel Problem)
