How Euler Did Even More (Spectrum)

C. Edward Sandifer, one of the world's leading Euler scholars, presents another collection of his 'How Euler Did It' columns. Each is a jewel of historical and mathematical exposition that will leave the reader marveling at Euler's inventiveness.

C. Edward Sandifer is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Western Connecticut State University. He earned his PhD at the Univeristy 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 Ed studied more foreign languages than he had to, and 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. Ed was the secretary of The Euler Society, and he wrote a monthly online column, How Euler Did It, for the MAA this volume is a collection of some of those columns. He has also written The Early Mathematics of Leonhard Euler and How Euler Did It, both also published by the MAA, and edited, along with Robert E. Bradley, Leonhard Euler: Life, Work, and Legacy. He and his wife Theresa, live in a small town in western Connecticut. Ed used to be an avid runner and he has over 35 Boston Marathons on his shoes.
