Euler's Correspondence with Johann Kaspar Wettstein

Euler's Correspondence with Johann Kaspar Wettstein

Johann Kaspar Wettstein (1695-1759) was born in Basel, and knew Euler when both were young men. Wettstein later moved to England where he became chaplain to the royal family, in particular to the Prince of Wales and later to his widow. Euler continued to write to Wettstein for many years, and because they had been friends since youth, Euler's letters to Wettstein are much more personal than most of his correspondence.

The Euler Archive is pleased to present, in English translation, all of Euler's known letters to Wettstein. John Glaus of the Euler Society has provided his original English translations to the Euler Archive, along with a table of contents and summary of each letter in the correspondence. This provides a useful guide with which to navigate through the letters.
