Euler gives a continued fraction representation of (1 + x)n. involving
1,3,5,7,... and n^2-1,n^2-4,n^3-9,... and squares of z, for x=2y and y=z/(1-z).
He evaluates this continued fraction at z=t sqrt(-1), for "vanishing" n, and
for infinite n and deduces a continued fraction for log, arctan, etc. The paper
is translated from Euler's Latin original into German.
