Leonhard Euler: Life and Contributions

Leonhard Euler was born in 1707 in Basel, Switzerland. He attended the University of Basel where he received his master's degree at age 16. Euler made significant contributions to mathematics, including introducing the symbol π to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and establishing graph theory with his solution to the Seven Bridges of Königsberg problem. He spent much of his career working in Russia and passed away in 1783 in St. Petersburg.

Facts of

BORN Of
Him
Leonhard Euler was born in Basel, Switzerland
which is a landlocked country located in Central
Europe. It is known for its picturesque
landscapes, including the Swiss Alps and
numerous lakes. And he was born on April 15,
1707
His Family
Leonhard Euler was born into a Swiss family in
Basel.His father was a pastor of the Reformed Church
in Basel.And his sisters Anna Maria and Maria
Magdalena.And her mother Marguerite Brucker.
His First School
Leonhard Euler attended the Basel Gymnasium for his
initial education in his hometown of Basel, Switzerland.
The Gymnasium, a secondary school, provided him with
a foundation in various subjects, and it was here that
Euler's aptitude for mathematics began to shine.
Die Of Him
Leonhard Euler passed away on September 18,
1783, in St. Petersburg, Russia. The cause of his
death was a stroke. Euler had spent a significant
portion of his career in Russia, contributing to the
Imperial Russian Academy of Sciences.
Early
Education
Leonhard Euler was the oldest of three children along with his two younger sisters. His family moved
from Basel to the town of Riehen, Switzerland, where he spent most of his childhood.
Master

from Jacob Bernoulli some years earlier at the University of Basel. Euler was sent to live at his maternal

Two Students who love Mathematics will undoubtedly remember his name. The “e” and the “γ” in the
important equations are known as “Euler’s Number” and “Euler Constant,” respectively. An interesting fact about
number Leonhard Euler is that no other mathematician, past or present, has the distinct honor of having two
named numbers named after them.

Euler's Summer
Solstice Theorem
Euler made a unique contribution to geometry with his
Summer Solstice Theorem. In 1751, he showed that the
three altitudes of a triangle are concurrent if and only if
the triangle's vertices lie on a circle whose diameter is a
side of the triangle.
Euler's Formula
for Complex
Numbers
Euler's key contribution to complex numbers is Euler's formula:
���=cos⁡(�)+�sin⁡(�)eix=cos(x)+isin(x). This elegant
identity links exponential, imaginary, cosine, and sine functions.
Euler's formula, especially when �=�x=π, is widely used in
mathematics, physics, and practical fields like electrical
engineering and quantum mechanics, influencing the development
of mathematical analysis.
Euler's Solution to the
Seven Bridges of
Königsberg Problem
In 1735, Euler solved the "Seven Bridges of Königsberg" problem,
abstracting it into graph theory. Representing land masses as nodes
and bridges as edges, he demonstrated the impossibility of a
solution. This foundational work marked the birth of graph theory,
establishing Euler as its father.
Euler’s famous
formula
eix=cos(x)+isin(x)
This formula connects exponential, trigonometric, and imaginary
functions, and it is widely known for its elegance and importance in
various branches of mathematics and physics
