Leonhard_Euler (1617 words) |
 | Euler was the first to publish a systematic introduction to mechanics in Mechanica sive motus scientia analytice exposita (1736, Mechanics or motion explained with analytical science —that is, calculus). |
| In 1741 Euler accepted a position at the Academy of Sciences in Berlin, however, due to various reasons, among which was the lack of the king's support, he returned to St. Petersburg in 1766, where he remained for the rest of his life. |
| Euler also deduced the Euler equations, a set of laws of motion in fluid dynamics, formally identical to the Navier-Stokes equations, explaining, among other phenomena, propagation of the shock waves. |
