Like many others here, Project Euler was foundational in my education and growth as a programmer.

Leonhard Euler himself is an incredible figure and arguably the most prodigious contributor to mathematics throughout history. So much so that people started naming things discovered by him after the next person to have proved them.

Maybe Gauß takes that trophy. To me it felt in mathematics lectures, that Gauß had his hand in everything. Euler might have had that too, but I am not that aware maybe.
