%X We follow two of the many paths leading from Newton¡¯s to Euler¡¯s scientific productions, and give an account of Euler¡¯s role in the reception of some of Newton¡¯s ideas, as regards two major topics: mechanics and algebraic analysis. Euler contributed to a re-appropriation of Newtonian science, though transforming it in many relevant aspects. We study this re-appropriation with respect to the mentioned topics and show that it is grounded on the development of Newton¡¯s conceptions within a new conceptual frame also influenced by Descartes¡¯s views sand Leibniz¡¯s formalism.
