Euler is regarded as arguably the most prolific contributor in the history of mathematics and science, and the greatest mathematician of the 18th century. [12] [11] His 866 publications and his correspondence are being collected in the Opera Omnia Leonhard Euler which, when completed, will consist of 81 quartos.
Johann Albrecht Euler (27 November 1734 [1] – 17 September 1800) was a Swiss-Russian astronomer and mathematician. Also known as Johann Albert Euler or John-Albert Euler , he was the first child born to the great Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707–1783), who had emigrated [for the first time] to Saint-Petersburg on 17 May 1727.
The Bernoulli family (/ b ɜːr ˈ n uː l i / bur-NOO-lee; German: [bɛʁˈnʊli]; [a] Swiss Standard German: [bɛrˈnʊli]) of Basel was a patrician family, notable for having produced eight mathematically gifted academics who, among them, contributed substantially to the development of mathematics and physics during the early modern period.
Frontispiece of the first volume, first edition (1768) of Lettres a une princesse d'Allemagne sur divers sujets de physique & de philosophie. Letters to a German Princess, On Different Subjects in Physics and Philosophy (French: Lettres à une princesse d'Allemagne sur divers sujets de physique et de philosophie) were a series of 234 letters written by the mathematician Leonhard Euler between ...
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.
The mathematician Leonhard Euler has been characterized as having an eidetic memory. [14] He was able to, for example, repeat the Aeneid of Virgil from beginning to end without hesitation, and for every page in the edition he could indicate which line was the first and which was the last even decades after having read it.

The HuffPost/YouGov poll consisted of 3,000 completed interviews conducted May 8 to 29 among U.S. adults, including 124 women who are childless and reported not wanting children in the future. It was conducted using a sample selected from YouGov's opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population.
He was a contemporary and close friend of Leonhard Euler. [10] He went to St. Petersburg in 1724 as professor of mathematics, but was very unhappy there. A temporary illness [8] together with the censorship by the Russian Orthodox Church [11] and disagreements over his salary gave him an excuse for leaving St. Petersburg in 1733. [12]
