Leonhard Euler

Leonhard Euler (April 15, 1707–September 18, 1783) was a Swiss mathematician and physicist. He is considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians who ever lived. Leonhard Euler was the first to use the term "function" (defined by Leibniz in 1694) to describe an expression involving various arguments; i.e., y = F(x). He is credited with being one of the first to apply calculus to physics.
