Profiles in Contrast

Leonard Euler


Listen Later

Sophie once again steps outside of her comfort zone to examine the life and myriad contributions of famed Swiss mathematician Leonard Euler.  Euler not only introduced much of our modern mathematical notation but also defined the value of essential constants and published prolifically.

The parallels, including the multi-disciplinary expertise, of Sophie's choice as modern-era contrasting figure - an individual whose contributions to computer science, game theory and numerical analysis are both fascinating and largely unheralded - are profound.

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
