Johann Bernoulli

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 him to become a mathematician. Leonhard Euler didn’t just help in one specific part of math he helped in…

The Life of Leonhard Euler Leonhard Euler was born on April 15, 1707, in Basel, Switzerland. He was the first of six children in a minister's family. His father, Paul Euler, a Protestant preacher, taught young Euler mathematics but wanted him to be a minister. Paul Euler married Margaret Brucker, the daughter of another Protestant minister. He had two younger sisters named Anna Maria and Maria Magdalena (newworldencyclopedia). He died on September 18, 1783 from a cerebral hemorrhage. Euler…

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…

The cosine was developed as the sine of the complement of the angle, and notation for cosine was also varied. The term sinus residuae was used by Viete while Gunter preferred co-sinus in the year 1620. Cavalieri used Si.2, Oughtred used s co arc and Wallis used S [2]. The tangent and cotangent developed out of the need to calculate the height of an object casting a shadow of a certain length, which was of critical importance for the sundial. Thales is known to have used the method of lengths of…
