Any fun facts about Euler?
There’s an interesting nugget in Needham’s Visual Differential Geometry and Forms. He received a letter from a young mathematician outlining some work he’d done. Euler had already reached the same conclusion. He replied “I’ve deduced this myself. However I’ve decided not to publish so that you get the recognition you deserve.” More on reddit.com

TIL Leonhard Euler wrote some papers on music theory. However, these papers were considered “too mathematical for musicians and too musical for mathematicians.”

TIL about Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) who not only popularised the use of lower case Pi to denote the ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter, but was also the first to use "i" to denote the square root of -1. The constant "e", the base number in a natural logarithm is the Euler Number

Euler
In applied mechanics, Euler was the first to derive the formula for the critical buckling load of an ideal, slender column and the first to solve the problem of the elastica. This work was published in 1744. He dealt with a column that is fixed at the base and free at the top.

Petersburg in 1766, he created the analytical calculus of variations, developed the most precise lunar theory of the time that supported Newton’s dynamics, and published the best-selling Letters to a German Princess—all despite eye problems that ended in near-total blindness. In telling the remarkable story of Euler and how his achievements brought pan-European distinction to the Petersburg and Berlin academies of sciences, the book also demonstrates with new depth and detail the central role of mathematics in the Enlightenment.
