Need help ending a debate. Is Euler pronounced "oiler", or "uuler"?? -DD EDIT- (Forgot about websters.com) Eu·ler ( P ) Pronunciation Key (oilr), Leonhard. 1707-1783. Swiss mathematician noted both for his work in analysis and algebra, including complex numbers and logarithms, and his introduction of much of the basic notation in mathematics [edited by - agentidd on March 24, 2003 9:14:49 PM]

People have told me it''s ''oiler'', but then again you never can trust some people.

Since it''s German, eu is always oy, so oiler is correct

As for those Japanise guys that had the idea that helped solve fermat''s last theorem, anyone know that?

It''s ''oiler''.

Enough people pronounce it ''uuler'' (incorrectly) that they can convince each other they''re right.

Yeah, it''s oiler. I''ve never actually heard anyone pronounce it otherwise, except for when I first pronounced it years ago, and was promptly corrected.

This was a problem in this calculus competition I did in high school once.

I got it wrong, too =(

We all speak diffrent languages.
For instance, in sweden the money in USA is called ''dollar'' and spelled ''dollar'', but we do not pronounce it as you americans.

Pronounce it as it would be pronounced in your country.
