Euler's number e corresponds to shaded area equal to 1, introduced in chapter VII. Introductio in analysin infinitorum (Latin: [1] Introduction to the Analysis of the Infinite) is a two-volume work by Leonhard Euler which lays the foundations of mathematical analysis.
Institutiones calculi integralis (Foundations of integral calculus) is a three-volume textbook written by Leonhard Euler and published in 1768. It was on the subject of integral calculus and contained many of Euler's discoveries about differential equations.
Institutiones calculi differentialis (Foundations of differential calculus) is a mathematical work written in 1748 by Leonhard Euler and published in 1755. It lays the groundwork for the differential calculus. It consists of a single volume containing two internal books; there are 9 chapters in book I, and 18 in book II.
Opera Omnia Leonhard Euler (Leonhardi Euleri Opera omnia) is the compilation of Leonhard Euler's scientific writings. The project of this compilation was undertaken by the Euler Committee of the Swiss Academy of Sciences , established in 1908, and is ongoing as of September 2022 [update] .
The project represented a colossal challenge, as Euler is one of the most prolific scientists in history. [2] The edition of Euler's Collected Works is close to completion, with a total of 84 volumes comprising about 35,000 pages [3] planned for the entire collection. A total of 80 volumes have been published so far.
