 Leonhard Euler (1707 - 1783)
Leonhard Euler was born at Bâle on April 15, 1707, and died at St. Petersburg on September 7, 1783.
I think we may sum up Euler's work by saying that he created a good deal of analysis, and revised almost all the branches of pure mathematics which were then known, filling up the details, adding proofs, and arranging the whole in a consistent form.
Such work is very important, and it is fortunate for science when it fall into hands as competent as those of Euler.

He told Science News that he'd like to see the program's network of tsunami-detecting instruments expand from 6 to around 20 sensors, a number that would permit their spacing at about 400 km apart along the West Coast and the section of Alaska deemed most at risk from tsunamis.
A critical part of the mitigation program identifies coastal communities at risk and maps which parts of them would be inundated by a tsunami.
In Tosa-Shimizu, in southwestern Japan, the power-law relationship—developed using data on small waves obtained between 1931 and 1995—suggests that a tsunami measuring 20 m tall might hit the port once every 229 years, on average.

In a disappointment to the scientific community, the National Science Foundation (NSF) budget will decline by $105 million or 1.9 percent to $5.47 billion under the FY 2005 omnibus appropriations bill.
This decline has drawn sharp criticism from key members of Congress, especially in light of recent legislation to double the NSF budget in five years.
