What did Euler do and please make it easy to understand?

Euler made important discoveries in fields as diverse as infinitesimal calculus and graph theory. He also introduced much of the modern mathematical terminology and notation, particularly for mathematical analysis, such as the notion of a mathematical function. He is also renowned for his work in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, and astronomy.

While I believe the preceding paragraph to be easy to understand, most of Euler's work is not.

Why did david hilbert take an interest in math?

Nothing I've read tells 'why' he became interested in math, but why does anyone become interested in anything. For me math just is a very logical study that appealed to me. It helps explain so many scientific things, motion, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, astronomy.
