Leonhard Euler And His Friends: Leonhard Euler: Switzerland's Great Scientific Expatriate

By L.-Gustave Du Pasquier, Louis-Gustave Du Pasquier, John S.D. Glaus

Euler and his Friends is the translation of Professor Gustave-Louis Du Pasquier's biography of Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler 1707-1783 by John Glaus. This book provides Euler's life as a reference point within the 18th century; the intricacies of friendships, scientific competencies, belligerent autocrats and the atmosphere of the period have blended together in the wonderfully rich canvas known as the Enlightenment. This biography shows us that irrespective of his location, Saint Petersburg or Berlin, Euler was at the confluence of continental European scientific thought, theory and its applications.
