Correspondance de Leonhard Euler avec L. Bertrand, Ch. Bonnet, J. Castillon, G. Cramer, Ph. Cramer,

This volume of the Opera omnia will be devoted to the French letters Euler exchanged with his friend and countryman Johann Kaspar Wettstein, as well as with some Swiss scholars from and around Geneva (Louis Bertrand, Charles Bonnet, Marc-Michel Bousquet, Jean Castillon, Gabriel Cramer, Philibert Cramer, Gaspard Cuentz, Georges-Louis Lesage). It will also include a short correspondence between the great mathematician and a remote relative, Johann Michael von Loen,who is mentioned in a letter from Louis Bertrand and in some letters from Euler addressed to Maupertuis and Frederic II. We hope that those correspondenceswill draw a slightly different portrait of Euler, who wasn’t just the most prolific mathematicians ever but also built networks to propagate his ideas, to protect and recommend some of his contemporaries, eventually to help organize and consolidate the Academies of Berlin and St. Petersburg. Competent edition of the correspondence of Euler Euler is one of the most important mathematicians in the eighteenth century Those fully edited letters will offer a new look at Euler and his contribution to the enlightened sciences INDICE: Foreword.- General introduction.- The correspondence between Eulerand Louis Bertrand.- The correspondence between Euler and Charles Bonnet.- The correspondence between Euler and Marc-Michel Bousquet.- The correspondence between Euler and Jean Castillon.- The correspondence between Euler and GabrielCramer.- The correspondence between Euler and Philibert Cramer.- The correspondence between Euler and Gaspard Cuentz.- The correspondence between Euler andGeorges-Louis Lesage.- The correspondence between Euler and Johann Michael von Loen.- The correspondence between Euler and Johann Kaspar Wettstein.- Index of Euler’s works mentioned.- List of literature.- Index of names.
