Terme ou expression en français : 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

Explication :
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.

critical Euler sigma

Explication :
Euler was the first to use the capital sigma as a sum function in the way he did. This is not related to division by zero, so it's a metaphor, similar to "important Heiesenberg equation" or "crucial Einstein formula," in my view.

Reference: Euler's Sigma Function

Reference information:
Euler's sigma function was about all the divisors of n, we can't divide by zero so the program must be bombing out because it is enctounering a zero when trying to apply Euler's function. Just a guess....
