Works in the same field (complex geometry) and created whole subfields essentially by himself. With the exeption of the fields medal, he has won just about every prize you can win, most importantly the Abel prize. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Welt@lazysoci.al 8 points 7 months ago (1 child) Read about Leonhard Euler permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 child) I'm on his Wiki.
