Euler's great interest in number theory can be traced to the influence of his friend in the St. Peterburg Academy, Christian Goldbach. A lot of his early work on number theory was based on the works of Pierre de Fermat, and developed some of Fermat's ideas. One focus of Euler's work was to link the nature of prime distribution with ideas in ...
Mechanica (Latin: Mechanica sive motus scientia analytice exposita; 1736) is a two-volume work published by mathematician Leonhard Euler which describes analytically the mathematics governing movement. Euler both developed the techniques of analysis and applied them to numerous problems in mechanics, [1] notably in later publications the ...
