For example we can read about the contribution of Leonhard Euler (1707-83) a Swiss scientist who spent much of
his career at the Academy in St. Petersburg. He is revered by both the Swiss and the Russians for the mathematical
discoveries he made while working there. Then there were Daniel and Nicolaus Bernouilli, Dutch brothers and
