We speak of the age of Euler. A justification of this term is
provided by a list of scientific terms connected with Euler's name
and his many contributions to pure mathematics, well-known in the
mathematical community and, in part, covered in this volume. What
makes this collection remarkable, though, is the extensive
treatment of Euler's contributions outside pure mathematics -
astronomy, celestial mechanics, ballistics, music and many other
areas. In addition to this survey of his contributions to science,
we find also rare, detailed accounts of Euler's family life and the
careers pursued by his children and grandchildren. Readers
otherwise well-informed about Euler and his work will find here
much to enhance their appreciation of this extraordinary scientist
and human being.
