Euler is one of the greatest and most prolific mathematicians of all time. This book examines his work and its relation to current mathematics. It also treats the progression of ideas regarding divergent series from Euler to many parts of modern analysis and quantum physics.
Comprises Lebesgue's original exposition and his ideas more than a quarter century later, including his generalization of Denjoy's totalization. This book contains an appendix on transfinite numbers. It features text in French.
