  2. Euler has also been credited for discovering that the sum of the numbers of vertices and faces minus the number of edges of a polyhedron equals 2, a number now commonly known as the Euler characteristic.

  3. Most of Euler's greatest successes were in applying analytic methods to real world problems, describing numerous applications of Bernoulli's numbers, Fourier series, Venn diagrams, Euler numbers, e and π constants, continued fractions and integrals.

  4. Leonhard Euler was one of the giants of 18th Century mathematics. Like the Bernoulli’s, he was born in Basel, Switzerland, and he studied for a while under Johann Bernoulli at Basel University.

  5. 18 September 1783. St Petersburg, Russia. Summary. Leonhard Euler was a Swiss mathematician who made enormous contibutions to a wide range of mathematics and physics including analytic geometry, trigonometry, geometry, calculus and number theory. View seventeen larger pictures. Biography. Leonhard Euler's father was Paul Euler.

  6. Oct 3, 2018 · Euler made many important discoveries in the field of mathematics. While he is perhaps best known for the Euler identity, he was a prolific and accomplished mathematician whose contributions influenced graph theory, calculus, trigonometry, geometry, algebra, physics, music theory, and astronomy.

  7. Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) was a Swiss mathematician and physicist who made fundamental contributions to countless areas of mathematics. He studied and inspired fundamental concepts in calculus, complex numbers, number theory, graph theory, and geometry, many of which bear his name.
