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.
Leonhard Euler (/ ˈ ɔɪ l ər / OY-lər; [b] German: [ˈleːɔnhaʁt ˈʔɔʏlɐ] ⓘ, Swiss Standard German: [ˈleɔnhard ˈɔʏlər]; 15 April 1707 – 18 September 1783) was a Swiss polymath who was active as a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, logician, geographer, and engineer.
The story leads from Euler's first observation in 1750 to modern topology and the mathematics of William Thurston and Grigori Perelman.

This book provides an overview of modern research mathematics; Gowers edited the contributions of 133 ...
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.

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 .
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.
