Johann Samuel König (* July 31 1712 in Büdingen; † August 21 1757 in Zuilenstein) was a mathematician. Johann Bernoulli instructed both Konig and Pierre Louis Maupertuis as pupils during the same period.[1] Konig 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.
