A portrait of Euler's early mathematics between 1725 and 1741, rich in technical detail.

Ed Sandifer is Professor of Mathematics of Western Connecticut State University. He earned his PhD at the University of Massachusetts under John Fogarty, studying ring theory. He became interested in Euler while attending the Institute for the History of Mathematics and Its Uses in Teaching, IHMT, several summers in Washington DC, under the tutelage of Fred Rickey, Victor Katz and Ron Calinger. Because of a series of advising mistakes, as an undergraduate he studied more foreign languages than he had to, so now he can read the works of Euler in their original Latin, French and German. Occasionally he reads Spanish colonial mathematics in its original as well. Now he is secretary of the Euler Society, and he writes a monthly on-line column, How Euler Did It, for the MAA. He and hi wife Theresa, live in a small town in western Connecticut, and he has run the Boston Marathon every year since 1973.
