Euler might be a legend but Gauss made a greater contribution in Mathematics. No wonder why our school named our first section after Gauss. :)

Gauss outranks Euler......

@theshllapi GAUSS was a legend too....!

Gauss was great but Euler was a legend .

@theshllapi No arguments from me on that. Assessing who was actually the greatest is somewhat subjective, and is also probably left to better minds than I have. But Euler was certainly one the all time greatest, and is one of my personal favorites.

So in order to get a Ph. D in something you have to make an original contribution to said field? Then that means that people with a PhD are hard to come by... I know relatives who have PhDs in medicine and i dont think they revolutionised the field of medicine...

@MilitaryMan006 That's generally the idea. In reality, it may vary a lot from one university to another. The more rigorous and more prestigious universities will hold people to a higher standard. And it doesn't necessarily have to be revolutionary, just a meaningful contribution. Along with the coursework, of course, and passing the comprehensive exams.

@diama2 Euler was amazing, and is certainly one of my favorites. As to whether he was greater than Gauss or not, I'm not qualified to say. But I have heard it said that "Mathematicians are in the habit of naming their theorems and formulas after the first person other then Euler to have discovered them." Pretty telling statement!
