Leonhard Euler

While Gauss is considered as the Prince of Mathematics, Leonhard Euler is hailed as the King of Mathematics. This blind genius is regarded as the greatest mathematician of all time. After the time of Euler, all mathematical formulas were named after the mathematicians who have discovered them.

Born on April 15, 1707 in Basel, Switzerland, Leonhard Euler was one of math’s most pioneering thinkers. He was considered to be on par with Albert Einstein in terms of intelligence level.

Though originally slated for a career as a rural clergyman, Euler showed an early aptitude and propensity for mathematics, and thus, after studying with Johan Bernoulli, he attended the University of Basel and earned his Master’s during his teens. Moving to Russia in 1927, Euler served in the navy before joining the St. Petersburg Academy as a professor of physics and later heading its mathematics division.

Euler is known as an outstanding mathematician of the 18^th century, the most prolific and great mathematician of all the time, with beauty in his theorems and concept he had done extraordinary work.

He made great discoveries in the fields of geometry, trigonometry, calculus (infinitesimal calculus), differential equations, number theory (graph theory) and notational systems - including the utilization of π and f(x) - among a legion of other accomplishments.

He released hundreds of articles (over 900 publications) and publications during his lifetime and continued to publish after losing his sight. He suffered from a brain hemorrhage and died during the night of September 18, 1783 in St. Petersburg.
