 Euler
Euler wrote an article on acoustics, which went on to become a classic, in his bid for selection to the post but he was not chosen to go forward to the stage where lots were drawn to make the final decision on who would fill the chair.
Euler became professor of physics at the Academy in 1730 and, since this allowed him to become a full member of the Academy, he was able to give up his Russian navy post.
Euler was also helped by two other members of the Academy, W L Krafft and A J Lexell, and the young mathematician N Fuss who was invited to the Academy from Switzerland in 1772.

Euler, ‘the Mozart of mathematics’, was probably the most prolific mathematician of all time, having contributed to many areas, both theoretical and practical, both serious and recreational – yet he remains largely unknown except to mathematicians.
Euler worked in an astonishing variety of areas, ranging from the very pure the theory of numbers, the geometry of a circle and musical harmony via such areas as infinite series, logarithms, the calculus and mechanics, to the practical optics, astronomy, the motion of the Moon, the sailing of ships, and much else besides.
Euler proved, using his generating functions, that for any number, the number of odd partitions is always equal to the number of distinct partitions an intriguing and unexpected result.

 Number theory - Wikipedia
Typical statements are Fermat's little theorem and Euler's theorem extending it, the Chinese remainder theorem and the law of quadratic reciprocity.
The properties of number theoretical functions such as the Möbius function and Euler's φ function are investigated; so are integer sequences such as factorials and Fibonacci numbers.
The prime number theorem and the related Riemann hypothesis are examples.

 Euler
Eulers first major breakthrough came when he won second place in the "Grand prize of the Paris Academy" in 1727, and since then he never looked back, proving major result after major result.
Eulers passion for his subject never waned, it is often said he would attempt to dash of a paper inbetween the first and second calls for dinner, and if he was craddling an infant in one hand, his other would be finishing off a detailed proof or calculation.
Eulers extreme mathematical ability is shown by the fact that he continued with mathematics after he lost his sight, in fact his level of production increased.

 Euler's theorem - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In number theory, Euler's theorem (also known as the Fermat-Euler theorem) states that if n is a positive integer and a is relatively prime to n, then
The theorem is a generalization of Fermat's little theorem, and is further generalized by Carmichael's theorem.
Using modern terminology, one may prove the theorem as follows: the numbers a which are relatively prime to n form a group under multiplication mod n, the group of units of the ring Z/nZ.

 Encyclopedia: Augustin Louis Cauchy
He started the project of formulating and proving the theorems of calculus in a rigorous manner and was thus an early pioneer of analysis.
His treatises and contributions to scientific journals (to the number of 789) contain investigations on the theory of series (where he developed with perspicuous skill the notion of convergency), on the theory of numbers and complex quantities, the theory of groups and substitutions, the theory of functions, differential equations and determinants.
He clarified the principles of the calculus by developing them with the aid of limits and continuity, and was the first to prove Taylor's theorem rigorously, establishing his well-known form of the remainder.

The Chinese remainder theorem is the name for several related results in abstract algebra and number theory.
The Chinese remainder theorem is any of a number of related results in abstract algebra and number theory.
Riemann (1859) conjectured the limit of the number of primes not exceeding a given number (the prime number theorem), introduced complex analysis into the theoryof the Riemann zeta function, and derived the explicit formulae of prime number theory from its zeroes.

 Encyclopedia: Pierre de Fermat
Fermat is famous for his "Enigma" that was an extension of Pythagorean Theorem, also known as Fermat's last theorem, which baffled mathematicians for more than 300 years, and was only finally proven in 1994.
Fermats little theorem (not to be confused with Fermats last theorem) states that if p is a prime number, then for any integer a, This means that if you take some number a, multiply it by itself p times and subtract a, the result is divisible by p...
Fermat was for some time councillor for the parliament of Toulouse, and in the discharge of the duties of that office he was distinguished both for legal knowledge and for strict integrity of conduct.

 ENERGETICS - LoveToKnow Article on ENERGETICS
Historical: Abstract Dynamics.Even in the case of a purely mechanical system, capable only of a finite number of definite types of disturbance, the principle of the conservation of energy is very far from giving a complete account of its motions; it forms only one among the equations that are required to determine their course.
In its application to the kinetics of invariable systems, after the time of Newton, the principle was emphasized as fundamental by Leibnitz, was then improved and generalized by the Bernoullis and by Euler, and was ultimately expressed in its widest form by Lagrange.

 Euler's Formula
Many theorems in mathematics are important enough that they have been proved repeatedly in surprisingly many different ways.
Examples of this include the existence of infinitely many prime numbers, the evaluation of zeta(2), the fundamental theorem of algebra (polynomials have roots), quadratic reciprocity (a formula for testing whether an arithmetic progression contains a square) and the Pythagorean theorem (which according to Wells has at least 367 proofs).
Perhaps there is a proof of Euler's formula that uses these polynomials directly rather than merely translating one of the inductions into polynomial form.

Among the numerous topics that arise during this historical odyssey into fundamental mathematical ideas are the Prime Number Theorem and the most important open problem in mathematics today--the Riemann Hypothesis (though no proof of either is offered!).
Havil has filled the gap by writing a book about Euler's constant, Gamma; it was the most obvious number missing from the growing library of 'popular' mathematical explanations.
The historical approach of these expositions has great appeal and provides welcome respite from some of the actual mathematics; in the case of this book, there really is a great deal of mathematics too.

Euler's totient function φ(n) is defined, for any positive integer n, to be the number of positive integers less than or equal to n and coprime to n.
Named after the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, φ(n) is an important function in number theory, chiefly because it is the cardinality of the multiplicative group of integers modulo n — more precisely, the order of the group of units of the ring Z/nZ (see modular arithmetic).
This fact, together with Lagrange's theorem, provides a proof for Euler's theorem.

 Math Forum: Leonard Euler and the Bridges of Konigsberg
A simple way to describe topology is as a 'rubber sheet geometry' - topologists study those properties of shapes that remain the same when the shapes are stretched or compressed.
The 'Euler number' of a 'network' like the ones presented later in this discussion is an example of a property that does not change when the network is stretched or compressed.
One of these areas is the topology of networks, first developed by Leonard Euler in 1735.
