Johann Euler’s Mathematization

  • Lucas Marcelo Cavalari Nardi

摘要

In this chapter, we explore Johann Euler’s electrical theory and mathematization. In it, he developed an ether whose hydrodynamical aspects he used to mathematize his theory. His explanations, however, were centered on mechanistic (that is, real and tangible) explanations, not mathematical arguments and proofs.
