Leonhard Euler Leonhard Euler‚ (born April 15‚ 1707‚ died Sept. 18‚ 1783)‚ was the most prolific mathematician in history. His 866 books and articles represent about one third of the entire body of research on mathematics‚ theoretical physics‚ and engineering mechanics published between 1726 and 1800. In pure mathematics‚ he integrated Leibniz’s differential calculus and Newton’s method of fluxions into mathematical analysis; refined the notion of a function; made common many mathematical notations

Hippocrates and Euclid. Plato esteemed geometry to be the entrance to his Academy. Let no man ignorant of geometry enter here. “Logical scandal” Theorems were believed to be correct as stated but they lacked the material to prove them. Euclid’s Elements was said to become the staple of mathematics or the standard. 13 books‚ 465 propositions (not all Euclid but rather a collection of great mathematicians work‚ started with 23 definitions‚ 5 postulates‚ 5 general axioms Euclid defined a 90
