Euler was not only by far the most productive mathematician in
the history of mankind, but also one of the greatest scholars of
all time. He attained, like only a few scholars, a degree of
popularity and fame which may well be compared with that of
Galilei, Newton, or Einstein.
Moreover he was a cosmopolitan in the truest sense of the word;
he lived during his first twenty years in Basel, was active
altogether for more than thirty years in Petersburg and for a
quarter of a century in Berlin.
Leonhard Euler's unusually rich life and broadly diversified
activity in the immediate vicinity of important personalities which
have made history, may well justify an exposition.
This book is based in part on unpublished sources and comes
right out of the current research on Euler. It is entirely free of
formulae as it has been written for a broad audience with interests
in the history of culture and science.
