QQC Euler

"He averaged about 800 printed pages throughout his long life, and yet he almost always had something worth while to say...His personal life was as placid and uneventful as is possible for a man with 13 children"

i think this quote is significant because it shows how dedicated this man was to his studies and research. i think this man must have been pretty amazing, to be able to let alone raise 13 children and publish 800 pages a year!

how could he possibly print 800 pages a year, and raise 13 children?

Quote: "At the age of 20, Leibniz had not only earned his doctorate in law, but had also published several highly original essays on logic and jurisprudence."

Question: What did he major in when he went to college?

Comment: i think that to be 20 and already have a doctorate in law, and have published writings, he must be really super smart and have a common love for knowledge.
