(April 15, 1707 – September 18, 1783)
If the issue concerns mathematics look no farther than Leonhard Euler. With nearly 1000 first class publications to his name, this ultra-ingenious polymath is the greatest of all mathematicians. He was relentlessly prolific. His phenomenal brain-power enabled him to calculate as easily as folks breathe. This explains why he is deemed the preeminent algorist and was nicknamed “Analysis Incarnate”. Euler excelled in all branches of mathematics, uncovered links between those branches, laid modern foundations, standardized notations, proved theorems, transcended every benchmark and pioneered new methodologies. During his 76 years lifetime 1 out of every 3 math-publications in the world was by him. Altogether, Euler effectuated the most scientific disquisitions ever. His fellow universal geniuses appraised him above others. Johann Bernoulli tabbed him “Beyond comparison”. Pierre-Simon Laplace proclaimed him “The master of all mathematicians”. Carl Friedrich Gauss called Leonhard Euler’s legacy “Irreplaceable best school”; whereas, Henri Poincaré titled Euler “Mathematics’ highest sovereign”. Stupendously brilliant, versatile and productive, he was the supreme sage whose sagacities transmogrified all sciences. Not even his blindness in 1766 could hinder him. At Saint Petersburg Academy interlocutors marveled in disbelief — as he mentally conjured mind-blowing disquisitions: for his secretaries to compile for publishing. No comparable novelties have ever been witnessed. The sheer quantity and quality of his works is breathtaking. Nobody else came close. Not Gauss! Not Newton! No one at all! The greatest, the most inspiring, and the most amazing theorems have Euler’s palmprints all over them. He was (and still remains) the mathematical champion of all the champions.

Hi, I love this website and the wonderful work you put into it. So many great stuffs here. Special thanks for this one about Leonhard Euler. I agree with Pierre-Simon Laplace. Euler is the master of all mathematicians.
Truly exceⅼlent. Keep ᥙp the good writings.
Great!
Monumental achievements!
I spent a lot of time searching for something similar to this. Only here I am satisfied. Thanks.
Hey there are using WordPress for your blog platform?
I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you need any coding knowledge to make your own blog?
Any help would be really appreciated!
This is so cool.
I’m pleased to find this site, and I’ve bookmarked it.
What a befitting tribute! Euler was awesome.
Very good website
Awesome article!
I recently had my websites rebuilt and i am trying new ways to make it better.
Your design is nice and your posts are well-structured.
Great reviews, thanks.
I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form?
I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one. Thank you.
You came up with a great list of mathematicians! I’m currently conducting my own survey on Facebook and it will be interesting to compare my results to yours. However, I’m not really happy with your list of the 100 greatest scientists of all time. Why isn’t Darwin on your list? In my opinion, he should certainly be in the top 5!
Hello David Terr,
Your comment clearly showed that you failed to read the notes on this website. So, let me remind you that this work took over 15 years. It is entirely research-based: neither (your preferred) Facebook opinions nor other parochial popularity contests.
My four evaluative criteria are: overall Ability, Versatility, Productivity and Developmental Influences.
Despite Charles Darwin’s historical importance, his achievements fell short under these ranking criteria.
By the way, many people (like you) mistakenly assume that Darwin initiated the Evolution Theory. No, he did not. He merely popularized it.
The Theory of Evolution predated him by several centuries (with ancient scholars such as Anaximander and Empedocles highlighting it). Even Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species” publication was inspired by the works of his younger contemporary named Alfred Russel Wallace. Needless to stress that Gregor Mendel’s Theories and Laws of Genetics, which are far superior, more foundational and better substantiated than Charles Darwin’s Evolution Theory, hardly receive any attention from those intent on over-hyping both Darwin and his Evolution Theory.
My emphasis is solely on facts: not on hypes and myths.
Please, do yourself a favor and read the notes (on Methodologies and Criticisms), if you are interested in knowing the truths about Charles Darwin.
Thank you.
Awesome!
It fascinates me thinking about all he achieved as a blind man.
Class!
This is a perfect introduction.
Keep up the excellent works 🙂
Greetings from Ohio! I love the info you provided.
He is really awesome
Nice and useful info on this web site, likewise I think the layout is wonderful.
You should take part in a contest for one of the best blogs on the web. I will recommend this site!
Your writing style amazes me.
Aw, what a post.
Very interesting points!
Definitely worth all the time I’ve been spending here.
The one and only …
Enjoyed this, thank you.
Your posts are always well-delivered and engaging.
Very good blog. Cool.
Also the most successful math genius
It’s wonderful that his productivity increased even after he became blind.
Excellent info
Amazing is an understatement.
The architect of modern mathematics
Euler was a wonderful genius.
I visited many websites but this one has something extra.
Leonhard Euler was very much on top of his game.
Genial! Simply amazing!
I am very satisfied with your articles and rankings. Thanks so much.
Euler = Extraordinary + Excellence
Euler is the best and the most important thing that ever happened to mathematics.
The site is wonderful.
Results & Discoveries
Genuine stuffs all the way.
One of the most brilliant minds ever.
Math or science, Euler is the best of these lots. The best there has ever been.
Les meilleurs, bien sûr.
Nobody is like Euler.
He was unique in many ways.
