  2. Contributions of Leonhard Euler to mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributions_of_Leonhard...

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Bridges_of_Königsberg

    Map of Königsberg in Euler's time showing the actual layout of the seven bridges, highlighting the river Pregel and the bridges. The Seven Bridges of Königsberg is a historically notable problem in mathematics. Its negative resolution by Leonhard Euler, in 1736, [1] laid the foundations of graph theory and prefigured the idea of topology. [2]
