On December first of 1913, Henry Ford installed the first moving assembly line for mass production on an automobile. This innovation took the time to produce one car down from 12 hours to two hours. Leonhard Euler did the same thing for mathematics. He created easier ways of solving simple, and complex, problems. If not for Leonhard Euler’s discoveries, we wouldn’t have Euler’s Method, or much of the mathematical notation and analysis we have today. Leonhard Euler was born on April 15, 1707 in Basel, Switzerland. His parents were Paul and Margaret Brucker. His mother’s father was a protestant minister; therefore, he was raised to join the ministry as well. Euler on the other hand, enjoyed mathematics. At the age of fourteen, he went to the University of Basel. While he was there, he excelled in mathematics courses. He graduated with a master’s in philosophy and began to study theology but soon after switched to study mathematics. (Molecular Expressions)…

Leonhard Euler was born on April 15, 1707, in Basel, Switzerland and died on September 18, 1783, in St. Petersburg, Russia. Leonhard Euler was one of the greatest mathematicians of his century, he popularized the use of the symbol Pi. He also won many academy awards for his knowledge in mathematics. Leonhard Euler was a Swiss mathematician and physicist. He not only made decisive and formative contributions to the subjects of geometry, calculus, mechanics, and number theory but also developed…

Have you ever wanted to know why we use geometry, calculus, and mechanics when solving most of our mathematical problems. Who came up with such brilliant invention, and how did they do all of this. We know without this method we would be missing a lot of important things when trying to solve problems. If we could, we should thank Leonhard Euler himself for being so brilliant, so bright, and original. Leonhard Euler was born on April 15, 1707, in Basel, Switzerland. Leonhard thought he had…

virtually every area of mathematics. It is sometimes jokingly stated that he was so prolific, that many discoveries were named for the first person after Euler to discover them (Richeson, 2008). The base of the natural logarithm, e, is named after Euler, as well as the Euler-Mascheroni constant, also called Euler’s constant. However, in spite of his significant accomplishments in a number of varied fields, he does not receive the acclaim or renown that many feel he deserve (Derbyshire, 2007).…

Abstract: - Leonhard Euler is considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He made incredible discoveries to many subject areas, but most were to the field of mathematics. In this paper we explore Euler’s mathematical contributions including formulas/identities, concepts and notations. We see how Euler’s formula came to be and the story behind it along with Euler’s identity. We then explore Euler’s approaches to the Basel and Seven Bridges of Königsberg problems and his…

Born on April 15, 1707 in Bales, Switzerland was man names Leonhard Euler. Following in his father's footsteps he was studying to be a rural clergyman. “Though originally slated for a career as a rural clergyman, Euler showed an early aptitude and propensity for mathematics, and thus, after studying with Johan Bernoulli, he attended the University of Basel and earned his master's during his teens.”(Biography.com Editors) During his time at school, Euler found a passion for mathematics. “By 1726,…

Leonhard Euler, a Swiss mathematician who made very important contributions every branch of mathematics. He was considered one of the most revolutionary figure in mathematics. “Leonhard Euler was one of math's most pioneering thinkers, establishing a career as an academy scholar and contributing greatly to the fields of geometry, trigonometry and calculus, among many others. He released hundreds of articles and publications during his lifetime, and continued to publish after losing his sight” (…

Leonhard Euler was a famous eighteenth century physicist who was responsible for developing many concepts that are now part of modern mathematics. He is acknowledged for many of the articles and books that he wrote over his lifetime. Leonhard was one of the top mathematics of the eighteenth century and the greatest mathematician to come out of Switzerland (Leonhard Euler Biography n.pag). Leonhard Euler was born on April 15, 1707 in Basel Switzerland. His parents were Paul Euler and Marguerite…

physics, it is he and the men which preceded him that truly impacted the mathematical world of their time. “That calculus rose to its height of popularity in the eighteenth century,” is attributed to Jacques I and Johann I (Lick, 401). Daniel I’s accomplishments warranted him “the founder of mathematical physics”(Lick, 401). Along with their accomplishments, these men worked side by side with the most gifted and influential mathematical mind of the time. The following will discuss the lives of…

Leonhard Euler, a Calvinist mathematician whose work in math is still praised today. One thing Euler is praised for is how he made math so simple and was able to give an extremely in-depth analysis. Euler was born April 15, 1707, in Bale, Switzerland. Europe’s best mathematician, Johann Bernoulli, tutored him. Since Leonhard Euler’s father was Calvinist pastor, he wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. The reason that he didn’t was Bernoulli saw his mathematical potential and advocated for…
