| In 1765, Euler decomposed the motion of a solid into a rectilinear motion and a rotational motion. |
| His publications include a biography of Leonhard Euler and a booklet on mathematical proofs. |
| Euler here also begins developing the kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies, introducing in part the differential equations for their motion. |
| The symbol e for the base of the Napierian logarithms was introduced by Euler. |
| This prize was jointly awarded to Maclaurin, Euler and Daniel Bernoulli, bracketing Maclaurin with the top two mathematicians of his day. |
| The CSA orientation is described by two Euler angles alpha and Beta, whereas the third angle gamma is evenly distributed about the sample normal. |
