Euler Society Conferences

The Euler Society was formed in 2001, and its first conference was held in Rumford, Maine in 2002. In the years leading up to the Euler Tercentenary, conferences were held annually at locations across the United States, culminating in the joint sessions held at the 2007 MAA MathFest Conference. Beginning in 2012, the conference was been held jointly with MAA MathFest in odd-numbered years, and independently in even-numbered years. The final Euler Society Conference concluded in 2016 at Adelphi University.

The independent conferences were a small affair, averaging 20 to 30 attendees, occuring in mid- to late-July. With a friendly but inquisitive audience, these conferences are ideal for both expert and novice alike. In spite of the name, the Euler Society conference frequently includes subjects broader than the life and work of Euler himself, such as the work of Euler's colleagues and contemporaries, the intersection of academic and political life in the 18th century, or the broader historical trends that impacted science and mathematics during this time.

Since 2016, Euler scholars have continued their work in many MAA-affiliated groups, including the Euler Archive, the Euleriana journal, and the History of Mathematics Special Interest Group (HoM-SigMAA) of the MAA.
