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.”

莱昂哈德·保罗·歐拉（德語：Leonhard Paul Euler，1707年4月15日－1783年9月18日），在香港及臺灣又譯作尤拉，是一位瑞士数学家和物理学家，近代数学先驱之一，他一生大部分时间在俄国和普鲁士度过。欧拉在数学的多个领域，包括微积分和图论都做出过重大贡献。他首次引进的许多数学术语和书写格式一直沿用至今，例如函数的记法，虚数单位的记法，圆周率的记法，求和符号等。此外，他还在力学、光学和天文学等学科有突出的贡献。欧拉是18世纪杰出的数学家，同时也是有史以来最伟大的数学家之一。他也是一位多产作者，其学术著作有60-80冊。法国数学家皮埃尔-西蒙·拉普拉斯曾这样评价欧拉对于数学的贡献：“读欧拉的著作吧，在任何意义上，他都是我们的大师。”
