内容简介
This volume of the Opera Omnia will be devoted to the French letters Euler exchanged with his friend and countryman Johann Kaspar Wettstein, as well as with some Swiss scholars from and around Geneva (Louis Bertrand, Charles Bonnet, Marc-Michel Bousquet, Jean Castillon, Gabriel Cramer, Philibert Cramer, Gaspard Cuentz, Georges-Louis Lesage). It will also include a short correspondence between the great mathematician and a remote relative, Johann Michael von Loen, who is mentioned in a letter from Louis Bertrand and in some letters from Euler addressed to Maupertuis and Frederic II. We hope that those correspondences will draw a slightly different portrait of Euler, who wasna (TM)t just the most prolific mathematician ever but also built networks to propagate his ideas, to protect and recommend some of his contemporaries, eventually to help organize and consolidate the Academies of Berlin and St. Petersburg.
