History MemesWhat's with the fucked letter spacing? I felt dyslexic while reading that.
Broke: dyslexia friendly fonts
Woke: dyslexia inducing fonts
You could perhaps put Gauss in the same category too
In the same sphere, if you will
He would like that
OK, I'll ask the question: who's the first guy?
Simon Bolivar, liberator of most of South America. Bolivia is named after him.
Don't forget The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
Thanks! I had just done my first ever reverse image search and found that out.
My best guess up until then was he was called Bob France or something 🙂
There are no remaining pictures of Bob France, so we can only speculate what he looked like.
Peanuts. There's an entire hemisphere of earth named after one guy
Kanye West?
Nah, Peter North
Amerigo Vespucci
America isn't a hemisphere
No, bit the vast majority of all the land in the western hemisphere is called America.
Simon Weston?
Mr Pacific Ocean?
Because the other hemisphere is full of imperialists sitting up the place.
America
Yeah, I got the reference. Not an entire hemisphere, that's just ameri-centrism.
An approximate hemisphere of land
Not even close. The American continents are approximately the same size as the Atlantic Ocean.
The Pacific actually contains it's own antipodal point: it is literally half the globe: a hemisphere.
Or to put it another way. The Americas span approximately five time zones. That's 75°, let's be generous and say six to get a nice even 90°. That's one quarter.
you should add name tags to the portraits
unless you do that on purpose to lure people into the comment section
Generally I don't make the memes. I'm just a reposter, and a lazy one at that.
Generally, in math, theorems are named after the people who formulate them as conjectures, not the people who prove them.
That’s why it’s Fermat’s Last Theorem, not Wiles’ Last Theorem, even though Andrew Wiles is the one who proved it. Same goes for the Poincaré Conjecture (which is now a theorem): proved by Grigoriy Perelman.

Huh, guy did a ...couple things
I'm surprised they didn't just rename mathamatics after him and be done with it
To be fair, they kind of already did rename all of mathematics after a guy, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, who wrote the book "al-Kitāb al-Mukhtaṣar fī Ḥisāb al-Jabr wal-Muqābalah" or, in a Latin bastardization: Al Goritmi, author of Al-Jabr.
You know him because his name is the word "Algorithm", and his book was so revolutionary that we named the entire branch of mathematics it covered after it: "Algebra"
Algebra was named after al-Jabir, whose name in Latin is Geber.
Eulerology? Eulerhythmics? Eultonics? Euleronomics?
Maybe we should go back a step and give science to the scientologists, and make science Euler centric. No more scientists, now all Eulerists. They Eule night and day solving the worlds fundamental mysteries.
Eulerhythmics?
Sweet memes are made of this.
Eulerics
Eurythmics
Great band
You should elaborate. Talk to me...
...like lemmings do.
Why does he have a towel on his head?
'Twas the style at the time! At least for academics who didn't want to wear a wig (which was also the style at the time).
Do you expect such a guy to be normal?
Calc 3 prof would print this and put it on his door
Can anyone explain Euler's... hat?
I always imagined this portrait was made right after Euler washed his hair, and it's just a towel.
I think it started as a hood, but it grew longer because nobles wanted to show everyone they could afford the extra fabric, which was expensive, and eventually they started piling it up on the head because the hood tip was getting so long it was in the way, and you eventually ended up with that thing in the picture.
Or I'm way off, and this is not the hat I was thinking about 🤷
He's at a stag do, they all have to wear their underwear on their heads and line up to do tequila shots out of the strippers cleavage
Euler sux — Gauß 4-ever!!!
There used to be a humor wikipedia page called something like "List of things discovered by Leonard Euler but not named after Leonard Euler (due to the volume of prior contributions to the field already named after Leonard Euler)" and it was long. Guy was foundational in everything from modern cryptography to optics to music theory...
Wait, it's all math?
Always has been
Damn, nobody has linked an archive of it yet…
Not the list that was mentioned, but the lists of reasons why it existed in the first place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_topics_named_after_Leonhard_Euler
I always bring this up when talking about graph theory and the Seven Bridges of Konigsber. As, yet again, it's the first recorded thereom related to graph theory.
So math has a BE and an AE era: Before Euler and After Euler
Why does Euler's portrait looks to be AI generated?
because the era in which it was made was growing in its style, this is by Emanuel Handmann from 1753. source
It was after Vermeer, but i think in a similar style.
It's Euler's picture on Wikipedia, by Jakob Emanuel Handmann in 1753.
Having an entire historical era named after you
In only one country
In an empire encompassing a quarter of the world.
I think that time frame is known as "British Colonization" rather than "Victorian Era" in many of the concerned countries.
