Leonhard Euler[edit]

Leonhard Euler was a famous mathematician that discovered many theorems that forever changed calculus, number theory, topology, and math in general. Among his discoveries was the E number, and Euler's Method. He also made major contributions to physics by pioneering applications of calculus to physics. --GoOdCoNtEnT 16:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Object I hope to contribute to this article one day, but as it stands it's far from FA status. If you want, feel free to run it through Peer Review for ideas on how to improve it though. As a point of interest, Euler did not discover the number e (it was discovered almost 100 years before Euler was born), but he was the first to use the notation 'e' to represent it.
