Mathematicians Of The Day: 15th September

On this day in 1739 Leonard Euler wrote to Johann Bernoulli on the general treatment of the homogeneous linear differential equation with constant coefficients. Within a year Euler had completed this treatment.

The postage stamp of one of today's mathematicians at THIS LINK was issued in 1973.
