QQC Part Seven

This quote starts from "He averaged about 800 printed....." to "required for completion of the project". Now I am very aware that this quote does not exactly pertain to math but all the same it still utterly amazes me. First of all the shear volume of work that Euler was able to write, many of the great writers of the modern and old world did not write this much. What really struck me about this is that everything he wrote was about Math, in one way or another. As someone who struggle with the application of different Math concepts I am astounded by the idea. Because for Euler to have been able to "write with the ease and fluency of a skilled speaker". This means he was not only able to write down all of the math but also be able to record the information in a way that was understandable. I am amazed at the fact that one man was able to write so much and still be understandable on a subject that is not always the easiest to comprehend.
