Description

This book is an excellent presentation of the story of Euler's life. It includes some bits of humor (like seeing the streets in Basel named respectively Leonhardstrasse and Eulerstrasse as jointly honoring the man although neither street is actually named for the great mathematician). Unlike "Euler the Master of us All," the book is organized around the chronology of his life rather than the concepts he studied, and it includes new details of his life. It also has some wonderful illustrations.
