LeonhardEuler

Swiss Mathematician (1707-1783)

Euler made large bounds in modern analytic geometry and trigonometry. He made decisive and formative contributions to

GeoMetry, CalcuLus and NumberTheory. In number theory he did much work in correspondence with Goldbach. He integrated

Leibniz's DifferentialCalculus and IsaacNewton's method of fluxions into mathematical analysis. In number theory he stated the

PrimeNumberTheorem and the LawOfBiquadraticReciprocity.
