Leonard Euler was born in Basel, Switzerland,
and he lived from 1707 to 1783. He studied mathematics with
Jean Bernoulli and was a good friend of the brothers Daniel
and Nicholas Bernoulli. He also studied theology, oriental
languages and medicine. At age 20 he went to the court of
Catherine the Great in St. Petersburg, where he became a
professor of Physics in 1730 and then of Mathematics in
1733. From 1741 to 1766 he was at the court of Frederick
the Great in Berlin. From there he returned to Russia. He
contributed many memoirs to the Russian and Prussian academies
of science.
Euler's greatest work was done in pure Mathematics
and he is one of the founders of modern science. He made
significant contributions to differential and integral calculus,
and he is considered the father of the calculus of variations.
As part of this work he studied the buckling of columns,
and gave us the famous elastic buckling formula that is
the basis of the design of columns in his paper "D e Curvis
Elasticis". He also studied lunar motions and Optics and
contributed many original papers on these subjects (Source:
