It is remarkable that Euler, who preceded Gauss and Riemann, is
still very much with us. The ramifications of his work are still not
exhausted, three hundred years after his birth. In number theory,in
algebraic geometry,in topology,in the calculus of variations, and in
analysis, both conceptual and numerical, not to mention mechanics
of particles and solid bodies, astronomy, hydrodynamics, and
other applied areas, the ideas that he generated are still motivating
mathematicians. In this talk, which will require no specialized
background, I shall focus on his pioneering work in the theory of
summability of divergent series, which was the precursor to the
entire modern theory of divergent series and integrals.
