is Oiler the GOAT?
>>16986215he didn't even derive the monodromy of the fundamental group despite his formula doe
>>16986233did you?
>>16986242i was born too late, just like you
>>16986215Euler? I barely know her!
>goes blind>becomes better at math “Where we’re going, we won’t need eyes to see”Math is truly Satanic
>>16986462He was also the nicest guy ever.
>>16986472Stop rubbing bums with each other and celebrate the going kindly of our alien attacks to hell.
Gauss mogs
>>16986215Eule up yo mommas booty
>>16986557Um no
>eGENIUS
>>16986215There's so many 20th century mathematicians who far exceed him. The leaps that Euler made do not even compare to the revolution initiated by Grothendieck.
>>16987633dude has dick in his name, he's a faggot.
>>16987673>t. set theorist lashing out in confusion
Yeah pretty much any well regarded mathematician from the 1880s and beyond would run circles around Euler and Gauss. Hell, even Abel was doing that at the time. Euler plucked a lot of ordinary foundational low hanging fruit and since he had an early mover advantage he's well regarded.

I like his numbers.
Math is for nerds ok
Euler and Voltaire maintained a famous intellectual rivalry at the court of King Frederick the Great of Prussia. They represented two opposite poles: Euler was a deeply religious mathematician, while Voltaire was a brilliant, satirical philosopher who often mocked the Swiss mathematician's lack of eloquence.During the 18th century, both geniuses crossed paths at the Berlin Academy of Sciences, leading to several direct clashes:Metaphysical debates: They frequently argued over philosophy. Euler often left enraged by Voltaire's rhetorical superiority and sharp wit, as Voltaire openly mocked the technical arguments the mathematician tried to use.Critique of calculus: Voltaire openly dismissed the new mathematics of the era, famously claiming that calculus was "the art of numbering and measuring a thing whose existence cannot be conceived".Personal mockery: At Frederick's court, Voltaire mockingly nicknamed Euler "my cyclops", taking advantage of the fact that the mathematician had lost the sight in one eye years earlier.The engineering clash: Frederick the Great also mocked Euler's practical skills. After hiring him to design a network of pipes and water pumps for his Sanssouci palace—which failed due to a geometric miscalculation—the king declared: "Vanity of vanities! Vanity of geometry!".Well /sci/now what?
>>16987633Nah
>>16991093Voltaire was vindicated >>16987633
>>16991093pls no bulli euler
>>16991093voltaire was a dipshit
>>16991093>asking a guy who does paper math all day to do practical thingsman, that frederick the great was kinda retarded. why not hire a real engineer?
>>16988385More like supremely GAY
Mom, the room full of strangers is making sense again.
>>16991218Voltaire was a great thinker with a sharp wit, I hope you kill yourself
>>16992387he liked to wank and drink wine, and he was fat and stinky
>>16986215Um yes he white literally was the GOAT and that’s not an exaggeration. He was a monster of a publisher. People had to stop naming things after him. It was that bad. Or he was just that good.
>>16994330quite* literally
>>16992394none of those things address his work
>>16994334how can I address his work considering I've read none of it?
>>16987883You got it backwards, it's easier to prove things now because of how many tools there are in the mathematician's toolset. We learn about calculus when we're kids.
>>16986215I prefer Oilclid.
>It’s Oiler>It’s not YewlerThis will never not piss me off
>>16986215Euler is genuinely underrated. His complete works are 72 volumes minus letters. Most of the classes I took in undergrad (engineering) started with him. Essentially, the man single-handedly changed the way we do math. In the two thousand years before him math was mostly unchanged from Euclid. The emphasis on functions and plotting equations is due to him. Descartes, Viete, Newton, all of these guys suggested moving in this direction, but it still doesn't look like modern day.
>>16991093>autist vs. schizo>schizo wins in the court of public opinionoh the monodromy>>16987633burning some ten thousand pages because military is... le bad is even more honest than grisha
>>16999371None of what Euler did looks like modern day math either, you dope.
>>16986215He is indeed the greatest of all time.
>>16986215the dutch are not human
