Letters to a German Princess, On Different Subjects in Physics and Philosophy (French: Lettres à une princesse d'Allemagne sur divers sujets de physique et de philosophie) were a series of 234 letters written by the mathematician Leonhard Euler between ...
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 work was published in his 1787 book Exposition elementaire des principes des calculs superieurs. (A Latin version was published in 1795.) Although L'Huilier won the prize, Joseph Lagrange , who had suggested the question and was the lead judge of the submissions, was disappointed in the work, considering it "the best of a bad lot."
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 .
