Excerpt from Leonhard Euler's Mechanik, oder Analytische Darstellung der Wissenschaft von der Bewegung, Vol. 1 Auf diese Weise kam ich dazu, diese Uebersetzung' zu veröffentlichen und es bedurfte nun keiner langen Überlegung, um von dem ersten Gedanken zurückzu kommen, nach welchem ich die Übersetzung so heraus geben wollte, wie ich sie beim Studium niedergeschrieben und oben geschildert habe. Ich entschloss mich vielmehr, das Werk ganz dem Original entsprechea in deutscher Sprache herauszugeben, alle etwa aufgefundenen F ehler natmlieh zu beseitigen, dagegen die von mir fruher in den Text eingewebten Erlauterungen und Anmerkungen gesondert am Schlüsse hinzuzufügen. Hierbei musste aber freilich eine gehörige Auswahl der letztem getroffen werden da es wesentlich verschieden ist, oh man eine Erläuterung in Worten oder Calcul dem Texte einverleibt, oder gesondert und somit selbstständig auffuhrt. Viel leicht bin ich bei dieser Auswahl nicht streng genug ge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the author

Leonhard Euler

791 books99 followers
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."
