This book eelebrates the 300th birthday of LeonhardEuler
1707-1783, one of the brightest stars in themathematieal
firmament. The book stands as a testimonialto a mathematician of
unsurpassed insight, industry, andingenuity--one who has been
rightly called "the master ofus all." The eolleeted articles, aimed
at a mathematieallyliterate audience, address aspeets of Euler''s
life and work,from the biographieal to the historieal to the
mathematieal.The oldest of these was written in 1872, and the
