Euler

Graph theory pioneer

Euler refers to Leonhard Euler (1707–1783), a Swiss mathematician whose work appears throughout modern mathematics and physics.

His name attaches to countless formulas, theorems, and constants: Euler's identity, Euler's number, Eulerian path.

Pronounced roughly "OY-ler," not "YOO-ler"—a common point of correction in math classes.
