==Selected bibliography== Euler has [[Contributions of Leonhard Euler to mathematics#Works|an extensive bibliography]]. His books include: * ''[[Mechanica]]'' (1736) * [https://www.loc.gov/item/04028085/ ''Methodus inveniendi lineas curvas maximi minimive proprietate gaudentes, sive solutio problematis isoperimetrici latissimo sensu accepti'' (1744)]<ref name=fraser/> (''A method for finding curved lines enjoying properties of maximum or minimum, or solution of isoperimetric problems in the broadest accepted sense'')<ref name=dartm2/> * ''[[Introductio in analysin infinitorum]]'' (1748)<ref name=reich/><ref name=ferraro/> (''Introduction to Analysis of the Infinite'')<ref name=revaninf/> * ''[[Institutiones calculi differentialis]]'' (1755)<ref name=ferraro/><ref name=demidov/> (''Foundations of differential calculus'') * ''[[Elements of Algebra|Vollständige Anleitung zur Algebra]]'' (1765)<ref name=ferraro/> (''Elements of Algebra'') * ''[[Institutiones calculi integralis]]'' (1768–1770)<ref name=ferraro/> (''Foundations of integral calculus'') * ''[[Letters to a German Princess]]'' (1768–1772){{sfn|Dunham|1999|pp=xxiv–xxv}} * ''Dioptrica'', published in three volumes beginning in 1769<ref name=davidson/> It took until 1830 for the bulk of Euler's posthumous works to be individually published,<ref name=kleinert/> with an additional batch of 61 unpublished works discovered by [[Paul Heinrich von Fuss]] (Euler's great-grandson and [[Nicolas Fuss]]'s son) and published as a collection in 1862.<ref name=kleinert/><ref name=fuss/> A chronological catalog of Euler's works was compiled by Swedish mathematician [[Gustaf Eneström]] and published from 1910 to 1913.{{sfn|Calinger|2016|pages=ix–x}} The catalog, known as the '''Eneström index''', numbers Euler's works from E1 to E866.<ref name=enestrom/> The Euler Archive was started at [[Dartmouth College]]<ref name=archive-start/> before moving to the [[Mathematical Association of America]]<ref name=archive-move/> and, most recently, to [[University of the Pacific (United States)|University of the Pacific]] in 2017.<ref name="euler archive"/> In 1907, the [[Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences|Swiss Academy of Sciences]] created the [[Euler Commission]] and charged it with the publication of Euler's complete works. After several delays in the 19th century,<ref name=kleinert/> the first volume of the ''[[Opera Omnia Leonhard Euler|Opera Omnia]]'', was published in 1911.<ref name="pluss"/> However, the discovery of new manuscripts continued to increase the magnitude of this project. Fortunately, the publication of Euler's Opera Omnia has made steady progress, with over 70 volumes (averaging 426 pages each) published by 2006 and 80 volumes published by 2022.<ref name="new look"/><ref name="series ii done"/><ref name="assad"/> These volumes are organized into four series. The first series compiles the works on analysis, algebra, and number theory; it consists of 29 volumes and numbers over 14,000 pages. The 31 volumes of Series II, amounting to 10,660 pages, contain the works on mechanics, astronomy, and engineering. Series III contains 12 volumes on physics. Series IV, which contains the massive amount of Euler's correspondence, unpublished manuscripts, and notes only began compilation in 1967. After publishing 8 print volumes in Series IV, the project decided in 2022 to publish its remaining projected volumes in Series IV in online format only.<ref name="series ii done"/><ref name="pluss" /><ref name="assad"/> <gallery widths="200px" heights="200px"> File:Acta Eruditorum - II geometria, 1744 – BEIC 13411238.jpg|Illustration from ''Solutio problematis... a. 1743 propositi'' published in [[Acta Eruditorum]], 1744 File:Methodus inveniendi - Leonhard Euler - 1744.jpg|The title page of Euler's ''Methodus inveniendi lineas curvas'' File:Leonhard Euler World Map AD1760.jpg|Euler's 1760 world map File:Euler Tab.
