Leonhard Euler (April 15, 1707 – September 18, 1783) was a Swiss mathematician and physicist. He is considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians who ever lived. Euler was the first to use the term "function" (defined by Leibniz in 1694) to describe an expression involving various arguments; i.e., y = F(x). He is credited with being one of the first after Isaac Newton to apply calculus to physics.
Born and educated in Basel, he was a mathematical child prodigy. He worked as a professor of mathematics in St. Petersburg, later in Berlin, and then returned to St. Petersburg. He is the most prolific mathematician of all time, his collected work filling 75 volumes. He dominated 18th century mathematics and deduced many consequences of the newly invented calculus. He was almost completely blind for the last seventeen years of his life, during which time he produced almost half of his total output.
The asteroid 2002 Euler is named in his honour.
