Mathematician Leonhard Euler, born in Switzerland in 1707, spent most of his career in St Petersburg. His work is of singular genius, originality and profundity.

Despite his initial demurral, Euler did end up solving the puzzle of the seven bridges of Königsberg, unaware that in the process he had birthed two new branches of math. On supporting science ...

Researchers demonstrate that there are infinitely many prime numbers of the form p²+4q² using novel and advanced ...

Euler’s number e is a mathematical constant that begins with 2.71828. Just like pi (π), it is non-terminating, which means it goes on and on. It is also an irrational number, which means it can ...
