Conversations On Change, Christopher Goff, Erik Tou

Euleriana

Welcome to Volume 2 of Euleriana! One of the pleasures of studying the his- tory of mathematics is reading how historical figures conversed with each other on topics of their era. In this volume, those conversations focus on differential equations—a subject which occupied Euler’s attention for much of his 56-year career. Throughout, we will see how he corresponded with many scholars of the day as he developed and refined his mathematical ideas.
