OverviewAI-generated

Leonhard Euler was a mathematician, physicist, university teacher, and writer. He was educated at the University of Basel and worked in mathematical analysis, number theory, shipbuilding, and calculus of variations. His notable works include Euler's four-square identity, Euler's formula, Euler's theorem, and the gamma function. He was a member of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences, and the French Academy of Sciences.

Born in 1707 in Basel, he died in 1783 in Saint Petersburg from a cerebral hemorrhage. He held citizenship in the Old Swiss Confederacy, the Russian Empire, and the Kingdom of Prussia. His residences included Basel, Saint Petersburg, and Berlin. Euler spoke Latin, German, French, and Russian. He suffered from blindness and was Protestant. His child was Johann Euler.

Quotes

  • Madam, I have come from a country where people are hanged if they talk.
  • Now I will have less distraction.
  • Mathematicians have tried in vain to this day to discover some order in the sequence of prime numbers, and we have reason to believe that it is a mystery into which the human mind will never penetrate.
  • To those who ask what the infinitely small quantity in mathematics is, we answer that it is actually zero. Hence there are not so many mysteries hidden in this concept as they are usually believed to be.
  • La construction d'une machine propre à exprimer tous les sons de nos paroles , avec toutes les articulations , seroit sans-doute une découverte bien importante. … La chose ne me paroît pas impossible.
  • A function of a variable quantity is an analytic expression composed in any way whatsoever of the variable quantity and numbers or constant quantities.

Article · Español

Leonhard Paul Euler (pron. AFI: [ˈɔʏlɐ] en alemán moderno,​ AFI: [ˈoiler] en español) (Basilea, Suiza; 15 de abril de 1707-San Petersburgo, Imperio ruso; 18 de septiembre de 1783), conocido como Leonhard Euler y también llamado Leonardo Euler en español,​ fue un matemático y físico suizo. Se trata del principal matemático del siglo XVIII y uno de los más grandes y prolíficos de todos los tiempos, muy conocido por el número de Euler (e), número que aparece en muchas fórmulas de cálculo y física. Vivió en San Petersburgo (Rusia), y también en Berlín (Prusia) la mayor parte de su vida adulta y realizó importantes descubrimientos en áreas tan diversas como el cálculo o la teoría de grafos. También introdujo gran parte de la terminología moderna y notación matemática, particularmente para el área del análisis matemático, como, por ejemplo, la noción de función matemática.​ Asimismo se le conoce por sus trabajos en los campos de la mecánica, la óptica y la astronomía. Euler ha sido uno de los matemáticos más grandes, más prolíficos, y se calcula que sus obras completas reunidas podrían ocupar entre 60 y 80 volúmenes.​ Una afirmación atribuida a Pierre Simon Laplace expresa la influencia de Euler en los matemáticos posteriores: «Lean a Euler, lean a Euler, él es el maestro de todos nosotros».​
