And being considered, the greatest Mathematicians of all time is no joke, pun not
intended.
At the aged of, 28, in the year of 1735. Euler lost most of his vision. But even
then, Euler published 885 works in his lifetime, and most of those work was when he
lost his vision. So yes no wonder why's he's considered great.
- 1727: Euler's "De quadratura curvarum" - dealt with the calculus of curves.
- 1736: Introductio in analysin infinitorum, introducing modern notation for
mathematical analysis.
So, this is just some of his noteworthy, works he's time of service, is spanning
over 60 years.
He was so influential in math that many consider him the most prolific
mathematician in history.
Even after he went blind, he kept working. He used to tie strings between the pages
of his books to help him navigate his texts by touch and still wrote some of his
most significant works while blind.
And this is, the list of it's practical contributions of Euler's work.
- Euler revolutionized methods for solving cubic equations and laid the foundations
for the field of graph theory.
- His contributions to fluid dynamics and calculus paved the way for modern
hydrodynamics and advancements in physics and engineering.
- He also made major contributions to astronomy, helping to explain the complex
orbital mechanics of planets and moons.
- Euler also made significant contributions to the fields of number theory and
probability theory, helping to develop modern mathematical analysis and statistics.
- His work in geometry led to breakthroughs in cartography, navigation, and
architecture.
- And he also made significant contributions to physics and chemistry, including
developing the concept of the "vortex," which helped explain the behavior of
fluids.
- Developed the concept of "Euler's formula," which is considered one of the most
beautiful and useful formulas in all of mathematics.
- Wrote over 800 papers, which is just straight-up mind-boggling.
- Had a face so iconic that his image was printed on Swiss currency and postage
stamps.
