It's birthday of one of the founders of pure mathematics -EULER --
During his academic career the scientist wrote about 880 works and the variety of multivolume monographs among them. About 30 years of his prolific academic career Euler devoted to the Imperial Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg. He left behind many outstanding works on different branches of mathematics, mechanics, physics, astronomy, applied science.
Some of his most famous works involve complex analysis, the gamma function, infinitude of primes, the proof of Newton’s identities, the development of topology, and calculating infinite sums.
The accident rendered him blind for the last twenty-five years of life but it did not stop him in his mathematical work. It only served as a small obstacle he had to maneuver around, as by this time he was a well-distinguished mathematician.
