Joan Clarke describes "Euler's theorem" but pronounces it incorrectly. She pronounces it "YOU-ler" not the correct "OIL-er". This seems unlikely as she has a "double-first" degree in Mathematics. However, in the 1940s pernickety correct pronunciation of foreign names was not a noted characteristic of the English, and it is also likely that the Germanic "Oiler" pronunciation was simply not as widely known at that time, even amongst knowledgable mathematicians - especially since Germany was the enemy. (Euler was Swiss.)
