    Leonhard Euler was an 18th century Swiss mathematician who published nearly 1000 works and made seminal contributions to all fields of mathematics. He established new methodologies and notations, proved many theorems, and pioneered new branches of mathematics. Despite losing his sight later in life, Euler continued his prolific work, dictating mathematical disquisitions to his secretary. He is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all time due to both the enormous quantity and high quality of his work, which still influences mathematics today.

    LEONHARD EULER

    (April 15, 1707 – September 18, 1783)

    If the issue concerns mathematics, look no farther than Leonhard Euler. With nearly
    one thousand first class publications to his name, this Swiss genius is the greatest of all
    mathematicians. He was relentlessly prolific. His phenomenal brain-power enabled him
    to calculate as easily as folks breathe. This explains why he is deemed the preeminent
    algorist and was nicknamed “Analysis Incarnate”. Euler excelled in all branches of
    mathematics, uncovered links between various branches, standardized notations,
    proved many theorems, shattered every benchmark and pioneered new
    methodologies. During his 76 years lifetime, 1 out of every 3 maths publications in the
    world was by him. The great Pierre-Simon Laplace proclaimed him “The Master of all
    Mathematicians”. Carl Friedrich Gauss (The Prince of Mathematics) referred to his
    works as “irreplaceable best school for maths”; whereas André Weil asseverated that
    “no other mathematician attained such an indisputable leadership in all branches of
    mathematics as Euler did”. Stupendously brilliant, versatile and productive, he was the
    supreme sage whose sagacity transmogrified physical sciences. Not even his blindness
    (in 1766) could hinder him. While working at Russia’s Science Academy, colleagues
    marveled in disbelief as he mentally conjured mind-blowing disquisitions for his
    secretary to prepare for publishing. No comparable novelty has ever been witnessed.
    The sheer quantity and quality of his works is breathtaking. Nobody else came close.
    Not Gauss! Not Newton! No one at all! The greatest and the most beautiful theorems
    have Euler footprints all over them. He was (and still remains) the mathematical
    champion of all the champions.
