Influential Math Figures
Leonhard Euler
Leonhard Euler is regarded as being one of the most prolific Mathematicians ever to have lived and is thought to be the only Mathematician to have two constants named after him (including the Euler constant which you will come to know and love if you study Higher Mathematics). Euler’s contributions to mathematics include very early work in the field of Graph Theory (The famous Seven Bridges of Konigsberg problem), various contributions to number theory and giving us the Euler identity , widely regarded as the most beautiful equation in Mathematics (as it involves the five most important numbers)
