OverviewAI-generated

Leonhard Euler was a mathematician, physicist, university teacher, and writer born in Basel in 1707. He was educated at the University of Basel under doctoral advisor Johann Bernoulli. His professional work spanned mathematical analysis, number theory, shipbuilding, and the calculus of variations. Euler held citizenship in the Old Swiss Confederacy, the Russian Empire, and the Kingdom of Prussia. He resided in Basel, Saint Petersburg, and Berlin, where he worked.

Euler 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. He was recognized in the Royal Society collection and the American Academy Arts Sciences collection. His notable works include Euler's four-square identity, Euler's formula, Euler's theorem, the gamma function, Commentationes arithmeticae collectae, and Leonhard Eulers Einleitung in die Analysis des Unendlichen. He spoke Latin, German, French, and Russian.

Euler suffered from blindness and died of a cerebral hemorrhage in Saint Petersburg in 1783. His death was due to natural causes. He was a Protestant and had a child named Johann Euler. His works are described in the Russian Biographical Dictionary, Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition, and Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie.

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".
