Leonhard Euler and the Bernoullis mathematicians from Basel

""In the 17th century, the small but culturally and intellectually eminent city of Basel was the home of one of the most prominent mathematical families of all time, the Bernoullis, and their friend, protege, and master Leonhard Euler. The author chronicles their lives and achievements at a time when modern analysis and its applications to physics burst on the scene and created a methodological framework for modern science. Written for young adults, this book conveys the excitement of a scientific culture that impacts our life to this day and will serve as an inspiration to gifted young people to devote their lives to scientific pursuits."--[Résumé de l'éditeur]."
"""Leonhard Euler and the Bernoullis is a fascinating tale of the Bernoulli family and Euler's association with them. Successful merchants in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Bernoullis were driven out of Antwerp during the persecution of the Huguenots and settled first in Frankfurt, and then in Basel, where one of the most remarkable mathematical dynasties evolved with Jacob, Johann, and Daniel Bernoulli the most prominent among them. Euler, fortunate to have had Johann Bernoulli as a tutor, quickly rose to prominence in the academies of Berlin and St. Petersburg, and became the most prolific."@en
