The next time you think you find maths difficult... check out Leonhard Euler. He formulated the equations of motion of the moon... and he was blind.
Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) was probably the most productive mathematician of all time, publishing enough mathematical papers to fill 90 volumes of books. Even though he became completely blind at the age of 60, he still published over 400 mathematical papers, most of which he dictated to a servant untrained in mathematics. |
