Gautschi, E. (trans.) Leonhard Euler was by far the most productive mathematician in the history of mankind, and also one of the greatest scholars of all time. He attained, a degree of popularity and fame which may well be compared with that of Galilei, Newton, or Einstein. This book is based in part on unpublished sources and comes right out of the research on Euler. With 58 black & white illustrations. Hardback, 194 pages. Size: 235 x 165 mm. Weight: 504g.
