Lusa Monforte, Guillermo (Author)
This paper is a transcript of the inaugural speech for the congress organized by the Polytechnical University of Catalonia in Barcelona, devoted to Leonhard Euler. The author discusses the special place of Euler in the history of science, in an intermediate field between pure mathematics and engineering. The author recalls that Euler has been celebrated on several occasions in Barcelona and at the Polytechnical University of Catalonia. In 1993 a selection of texts by Euler was published by the University un collaboration with the Autonomous University of Barcelona. The paper also discusses the role of great characters in history of science, such as Leonhard Euler, outstanding figures the analysis of whom promotes the study of history of science.
