Euler's Correspondence with Gabriel Cramer
Gabriel Cramer (1704-1752) was a Swiss Mathematicians perhaps best remembered for his work Introduction à l'analyse des lignes courbes algébriques published in 1750. It was a successful and much-read work on cubic curves, modeled after Newton's work. (Unfortunately, Cramer had not yet seen Euler's Introductio in analysin infinitorum, (published in 1748), though he later said that he would have liked to incorporate Euler's work into his own.

Cramer and Euler met in Basel in 1727 during a two-year trip in which Cramer met many of the leading mathematicians and scientists of Europe.
