Leonhard 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 solutions to these. Lastly, we see Euler’s influence in current mathematical notations. Key-Words: - Euler, notations, formulas, Basel, Königsberg 1 Introduction Leonhard Euler was born on April 15th, 1707 in Basel, Switzerland. His father, Paul Euler,…

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…

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 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…

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…

Leonhard Euler Leonhard Euler was one of the most important and influential mathematicians in history, as well as one of the most underappreciated. He made contributions to 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.…

Leonhard Euler was born on 15 April 1707. In a town call Basel located in Switzerland. His father Paul Euler was a pastor of the Reformed church. Leonhard Euler had two younger sisters called Anna Maria and Maria Magdalena. Later on the Euler’s moved from basal to the town of Riehen, where Euler spent most of his child hood. Leonhard Euler formal education started in Basel where he was sent to live with maternal grandmother. When Leonhard Euler was thirteen he enrolled at the University of…

Bernoulli’s, and particularly two brothers Jacob and Johnathan. The middle of the century was dominated by Leonhard Euler. He made numerous discoveries that would change the landscape of mathematics forever, and today he is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. In the ladder part of the century Joseph-Louis Lagrange made many significant discoveries. It is crazy to think about a family dominating a whole era of mathematics, but the Bernoulli family did. This one family…

Leonhard Euler lived form 1707-1783. During his life time he published eight hundred sixty six pages and books to only be surpassed by Paul Erdos later on. His complete work is ninety volumes. Remarkably, most of his outputs were from his last two decades of being alive while his completely blind (www.usna.edu). His most famous contributions to the world of mathematics was his equation or better known as the Leonhard equation which is V+R-L=1. Where V is equal tothe number of vertices (nodes)…

My person is Leonhard Euler. He was born in Basel, Switzerland, on April 15, 1707. His parents were Paul Euler and Marguerite Brucker. Euler had 2 sisters. Later in his life, he had 13 children, with his first wife Katharina Gsell, though only 5 survived to adulthood. He had 2 spouses. Salome Abigail Gsell from 1776-1783, and Katharina Gsell from 1734-1773. Leonhard was a Swiss mathematician and physicist, which helped in him being one of the founders in pure mathematics. Euler contributed to…
