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.

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 · Português

Leonhard Paul Euler (pronúncia em português: ['ɔjler]; pronúncia em alemão: [ˈɔʏlɐ], pronúncia local: [ˈɔɪlr̩]; Basileia, 15 de abril de 1707 – São Petersburgo, 18 de setembro de 1783) foi um matemático e físico suíço de língua alemã que passou a maior parte de sua vida na Rússia e na Alemanha. Fez importantes descobertas em várias áreas da matemática como o cálculo e a teoria dos grafos. Também introduziu muitas das terminologias da matemática moderna e da notação matemática, particularmente na análise matemática, assim como no conceito de função matemática. Além disto, c por seus trabalhos na mecânica, dinâmica de fluidos, óptica, astronomia e teoria da música. Euler é considerado um dos mais proeminentes matemáticos do século XVIII e também é considerado como um dos grandes matemáticos de todos os tempos, assim como Isaac Newton, Arquimedes e Carl Friedrich Gauss. Foi um dos mais prolíficos matemáticos, calcula-se que toda a sua obra reunida teria entre 60 e 80 volumes de quartos. Viveu a maior parte da vida em São Petersburgo, na Rússia, e em Berlim, que na época era capital da Prússia. Uma declaração atribuída a Pierre-Simon Laplace manifestada sobre Euler na sua influência sobre a matemática: "Leiam Euler, leiam Euler, ele é o mestre de todos nós".
