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.”

Leonhard Euler (ur. 15 kwietnia 1707 w Bazylei, zm. 18 września 1783 w Petersburgu) – szwajcarski matematyk i fizyk; był pionierem w wielu obszarach obu tych nauk. Większą część życia spędził w Rosji i Prusach. Jest uważany za jednego z najbardziej płodnych matematyków w historii. Dokonał licznych odkryć w tak różnych gałęziach matematyki jak rachunek różniczkowy i całkowy oraz teoria grafów. Wniósł duży wkład w rozwój terminologii i notacji matematycznej, szczególnie trwały w dziedzinie analizy matematycznej. Jako pierwszy w historii użył na przykład pojęcia i oznaczenia funkcji. Opublikował wiele ważnych prac z zakresu mechaniki, optyki i astronomii. Euler jest uważany za czołowego matematyka XVIII wieku i jednego z najwybitniejszych w całej historii. Oto przypisywane Laplace’owi zdanie wyrażające wpływ Eulera na matematykę: Czytajcie Eulera, czytajcie go – jest mistrzem nas wszystkich. Uczony ten należy do grona najbardziej twórczych – jego dzieła zapełniłyby 60-80 woluminów kwarto (czwarta część arkusza drukarskiego). Podobizna Eulera widnieje na szwajcarskim banknocie 10-frankowym szóstej serii; uczonego uwieczniono też na wielu szwajcarskich, niemieckich i rosyjskich (radzieckich) znaczkach pocztowych. Na jego cześć jedna z asteroid zyskała miano „(2002) Euler”.
