- List of topics named after Leonhard Euler
In
mathematics andphysics , there are a large number of topics named in honour ofLeonhard Euler (pronounced "Oiler"). As well, many of these topics include their own unique function, equation, formula, identity, number (single or sequence), or other mathematical entity. Unfortunately however, many of these entities have been given simple (and otherwise quite ambiguous) names like Euler's function, Euler's equation, and Euler's formula, which are further confused by variations of the "Euler"-prefix (and then, may still refer to the same thing anyway.) Overall though, Euler's work touched upon so many fields that he is often the earliest written reference on a given matter. Physicists and mathematicians sometimes jest that, in an effort to avoid naming everything after Euler, discoveries and theorems are named after the "first person "after" Euler to discover it".
