Biography
Johann Bernoulli instructed both König and Pierre Louis Maupertuis as pupils during the same period.[1] König is remembered largely for his disagreements with Leonhard Euler, concerning the principle of least action.[2] He is also remembered as a tutor to Émilie du Châtelet, one of the few female physicists of the 18th century.[3]
