Euler’s Correspondence with Bernoulli

Leonhard Euler (1667-1748) was Swiss mathematician.

Along with his brother Jacob (with whom he maintained a fierce rivalry famous to this day), Johann Bernoulli founded the Bernoulli dynasty, an impressive family of mathematicians and scientists who would do important work throughout Europe for generations.

It was Johann Bernoulli who tutored Euler in mathematics when he was young, and who started Euler on his path to scientific greatness.

Publication Information:

  • PH Fuss published 14 letters from J. Bernoulli to Euler in his Correspondance mathématique et physique de quelques célèbres géomètres du XVIIIème siècle.

The 14 letters from Johann Bernoulli to Euler from the Fuss Correspondence are available here. The Euler Archive will soon separate them into individual letters, but until then, they are presented here:
