The 18th-century Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707–1783) is among the most prolific and successful mathematicians in the history of the field.His seminal work had a profound impact in numerous areas of mathematics and he is widely credited for introducing and popularizing modern notation and terminology.
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 .It was written after "Institutiones calculi differentialis" (1755) and "Introductio in ...
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.The first book was first ...

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.
In his book Euler: The Master of Us All, he examines Leonhard Euler's impressive mathematical work. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] He received a Lester R. Ford Award in 2006 for his expository article Touring the Calculus , [ 5 ] and the Chauvenet Prize in 2022 for his article The Early (and Peculiar) History of the Möbius Function .
In 1736, Leonhard Euler published a proof of Fermat's little theorem [1] (stated by Fermat without proof), which is the restriction of Euler's theorem to the case where n is a prime number. Subsequently, Euler presented other proofs of the theorem, culminating with his paper of 1763, in which he proved a generalization to the case where n is ...
