About this product
Product Information
Leonhard Euler (1707 1783) was the most important mathematician of the 18th century. His collected works, which number more than 800 books and articles, fill over 70 large volumes. He revolutionised real analysis and mathematical physics, single-handedly established the field of analytic number theory, and made important contributions to almost every other branch of mathematics. A great pedagogue as well as a great researcher, his textbooks educated the next generation of mathematicians. This book compiles over 20 papers, based on some of the most memorable contributions from mathematicians and historians of mathematics at academic meetings across the USA and Canada, in the years approaching Leonhard Euler's tercentenary. These papers will appeal not only to those who already have an interest in the history of mathematics, but will also serve as a compelling introduction to the subject, focused on the accomplishments of one of the greatest mathematical minds of all time."

The writing is uniformly high level and should interest both historians of mathematics and indeed any mathematician with a fondness for Euler. Highly Recommended"" - Choice ""The essays are well-written and clearly presented; many of them are accessible to a motivated reader while others are set at a more advanced level....These essays provide evidence that one can combine an avid interest in technical science with a substantial interest in history."" - Charles Fraser, Isis, "The writing is uniformly high level and should interest both historians of mathematics and indeed any mathematician with a fondness for Euler.
