Euler's Correspondence with Daniel Bernoulli
Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782), son of Johann Bernoulli, was born in the Netherlands, but spent
much of his life in Basel, Switzerland. He knew Euler in Basel when they were both
young, and later he worked with Euler in Saint Petersburg for eight years. (When
he left Russia, Euler took over his position as professor of mathematics). Bernoulli
and Euler were close friends, and their letters discuss matters both mathematical
and personal.
Euler and Bernoulli exchanges letters for most of their lives. Unfortunately, all
of Euler's letters to Bernoulli during Euler's Berlin period (1741-1766) have been
lost, and we have only those from Bernoulli to Euler.

Publication Information:
- Nicolaus Fuss, in his Correspondance math�matique et physique de quelques
c�l�bres g�om�tres du XVIII�me si�cle, published 57 letters from Bernoulli
to Euler (out of the 81 letters listed in the Opera Omnia).
- Enestrom published four letters from Euler and two from Bernoulli in
"Der Briefwechsel zwischen Lenhard Euler und Daniel Bernoulli." These were
published in Bibl. math. 73, 1906/7, pp. 126-156.
The 57 letters from Daniel Bernoulli to Euler from the Fuss Correspondence
are available here. The Euler Archive will soon separate them into individual letters,
but until then, they are presented here in four sections:
