Leonhard Euler (/ ˈ ɔɪ l ər / OY-lər, German: [ˈleːɔnhaʁt ˈʔɔʏlɐ] ⓘ, Swiss Standard German: [ˈleːɔnhart ˈɔʏlər]; 15 April 1707 – 18 September 1783) was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, geographer, logician, and engineer who founded the studies of graph theory and topology and made pioneering and influential discoveries in many other branches of mathematics such as analytic number theory, complex analysis, and infinitesimal calculus.He introduced much of ...
Jun 21, 2024 · Leonhard Euler (born April 15, 1707, Basel, Switzerland—died September 18, 1783, St. Petersburg, Russia) was a Swiss mathematician and physicist, one of the founders of pure mathematics.He not only made decisive and formative contributions to the subjects of geometry, calculus, mechanics, and number theory but also developed methods for solving problems in observational astronomy and demonstrated useful applications of mathematics in technology and public affairs.. Euler’s mathematical ...
The 18th-century Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707–1783) is among the most prolific and successful mathematicians in the history of the field.His seminal work had a profound impact in numerous areas of mathematics and he is widely credited for introducing and popularizing modern notation and terminology.
Lived 1707 – 1783. Leonhard Euler was one of the greatest mathematicians in history: not only did he produce outstanding mathematics, he produced it at an outrageous rate, publishing more than any other single mathematician before or after him. If quality of output multiplied by quantity of output is equal to greatness, then Euler is
Leonhard Euler was one of the giants of 18th Century mathematics. Like the Bernoulli’s, he was born in Basel, Switzerland, and he studied for a while under Johann Bernoulli at Basel University. But, partly due to the overwhelming dominance of the Bernoulli family in Swiss mathematics, and the difficulty of finding a good position and recognition in his hometown, he spent most of his academic life in Russia and Germany, especially in the burgeoning St. Petersburg of Peter the Great and ...
Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) was a Swiss mathematician and physicist who made fundamental contributions to countless areas of mathematics. He studied and inspired fundamental concepts in calculus, complex numbers, number theory, graph theory, and geometry, many of which bear his name. (A common joke about Euler is that to avoid having too many mathematical concepts named after him, the convention is to give them the name of the first person after …
Biography Leonhard Euler's father was Paul Euler.Paul Euler had studied theology at the University of Basel and had attended Jacob Bernoulli's lectures there. In fact Paul Euler and Johann Bernoulli had both lived in Jacob Bernoulli's house while undergraduates at Basel. Paul Euler became a Protestant minister and married Margaret Brucker, the daughter of another Protestant minister.
One of the pioneers to be known in the field of mathematics from the 18th Century is Leonhard Euler. He was born in Berlin, Switzerland, to pastor of the Reformed church, Paul Euler on April 15, 1707. Being a pastor himself, Paul wished his son to become a pastor too. But Paul’s friend and a […]
Oct 3, 2018 · University . In 1720, Euler entered the University of Basel at just 13 years old—an accomplishment that was not uncommon for the time. At university, he studied with Johann Bernoulli, Jakob Bernoulli’s younger brother, who gave Euler mathematical problems to solve each week and encouraged him to read advanced math textbooks.
Leonhard Euler, (born April 15, 1707, Basel, Switz.—died Sept. 18, 1783, St. Petersburg, Russia), Swiss mathematician.In 1733 he succeeded Daniel Bernoulli (see Bernoulli family) at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences.There he developed the theory of trigonometric and logarithmic functions and advanced mathematics generally.
