Sandifer has been studying Euler for decades and is one of the world s leading experts on his work. This volume is the second collection of Sandifer's How Euler Did It columns. Each is a jewel of historical and mathematical exposition. The sum total of years of work and study of the most prolific mathematician of history, this volume will leave you marveling at Euler's clever inventiveness and Sandifer's wonderful ability to explicate and put it all in context.

C. Edward Sandifer is Professor of Mathematics at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, Connecticut. He is Secretary of The Euler Society (www.EulerSociety.org). His first book, The Early Mathematics of Leonhard Euler, was published by the MAA in December 2006, as part of the celebrations of Euler's tercentennial in 2007. The MAA published a collection of forty 'How Euler Did It' columns in June 2007.
