From the reviews: "A leading mathematician of the 18th century, Leonhard Euler made innovative contributions to mechanics that laid the foundations of mathematical physics that are still in use today. … In this work written for professionals in the physical sciences, Suisky … lays out the details of simultaneous 18th-century advances in both mechanics and mathematics, with some later chapters devoted to 19th- and 20th-century applications. … Summing Up: Recommended. Researchers, faculty, and professionals." (F. Potter, Choice, Vol. 46 (11), August, 2009)
