In 2007, Dunham gave a speech about all the principles and formulas created by Euler, and expounded their connection with analytic number theory.

William Dunham, graduated from Ohio State University with a master's degree and a doctor's degree, is now a professor at Mullenburg College in the United States and a world-renowned expert in the history of mathematics. He was awarded the George Polya Prize, Trevor Evans Prize and Lester Ford Prize by the American Mathematical Association in 1992, 1997 and 2006 respectively. Professor Dunham has written a lot. In addition to this book, he has also written about the mathematical universe: the journey of letters through great proofs, problems, and personalities, as well as other popular science works.
