Student Translations of Euler's Mathematics
http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/PictDisplay/Euler.html
The Student Translations of Eulers Mathematics (STeM) Project at Rowan University is an exciting project that engages undergraduate math students, under the supervision of faculty members, to translate selected papers of Leonard Euler (originally written in French, German and Latin) into English and to expose his works to the broader mathematical community. Euler's works are available online at the Euler Archive: http://eulerarchive.maa.org/.
