Leonhardi Euleri Institutionum Calculi Integralis Volumen Primum [-Quartum], Volume 3

by Leonhard Euler

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

About the author

Noted Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler worked in analysis and algebra, including complex numbers and logarithms, and he introduced much of the basic notation in mathematics.

This pioneering physicist made important discoveries in fields as diverse as infinitesimal calculus and graph theory. He also introduced much of the modern terminology, particularly for analysis, such as the notion of a function. He is also renowned for his work in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, astronomy, and music theory.

People considered Euler the preeminent mathematician of the 18th century and one of the greatest who ever lived. He is also one of the most prolific mathematicians; his collected works fill sixty to eighty quarto volumes. He spent most of his adult life in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and in Berlin, Prussia.

A statement, attributed to Pierre Simon de Laplace, expresses influence of Euler on mathematics: "Read Euler, read Euler, he is the master of us all."
