Leonhard Euler
Leonhard Euler was an 18th-century Swiss mathematician who contributed to analysis, number theory and fluid mechanics, and after whom the Euler equations of fluid flow are named.
Leonhard Euler (1707–1783) was a mathematician and physicist from Basel, Switzerland, who worked at the academies of sciences in St. Petersburg and Berlin. His contributions span analysis, number theory and other fields, and the Euler equations describing the motion of an inviscid fluid bear his name.
