I pronounce it "oiler". He was a German speaker, so the "eu" is pronounced the same as in "Deutchland". Wikipedia agrees.

I think it's You-ler. The articulation of "eu" as oil doesn't make sense to me.

The decline of the teaching of languages in American schools is one reason we do not "see" the sense in other languages and pronunciation. It is also the reason we have in part such a low regard for other citizeens of the world. Given the global focus on everything a second and third language, which is required in the rest of the world, should be required here.
It is by the way, Oil er

It's OILER. All of you who say otherwise present yourselves as lingually inept and insensitive.

You're reading How do you pronounce Euler? I was taught you-ler at school and the oil-er at university. Just curious :)
