Everyone is born with the capacity to derive or at least understand all the mathematical propositions known in the Euler era by, if not before, the age of four. It is our surroundings, our society, however, that prevent us from doing so.

That's still far from grammatical.

He visualises formulae? Okay? I'm not sure what that is meant to mean. If you mean he derives them, then obviously he does so incorrectly as he wasn't able to solve to prove that series is convergent. Mainly because it isn't. If he thought about it, he would quickly have realised that were the case. Instead he regurgitated a method he memorised from a text book, which wasn't applicable in that instance.
