Maybe we should go back a step and give science to the scientologists, and make science Euler centric. No more scientists, now all Eulerists. They Eule night and day solving the worlds fundamental mysteries.
To be fair, they kind of already did rename all of mathematics after a guy, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, who wrote the book “al-Kitāb al-Mukhtaṣar fī Ḥisāb al-Jabr wal-Muqābalah” or, in a Latin bastardization: Al Goritmi, author of Al-Jabr.
You know him because his name is the word “Algorithm”, and his book was so revolutionary that we named the entire branch of mathematics it covered after it: “Algebra”
Well, the wikipedia page for both Al-Khwarizmi and algebra both disagree with you, as does the wiki page for Geber, and, oh yeah, the journal of the history of mathematics:

“It is well known that our word “algebra” derives ultimately from the Arabic al-jabr, which is part of the name al-jabr wa’l-muq¯abala given to the art of algebra in medieval times. Further, the individual words al-jabr and al-muq¯abala are associated with two steps in the simplification of equations. Al-jabr is the word used in conjunction with moving subtracted quantities to the other side of the equation, and al-muq¯abala is used to combine like terms on opposite sides of the equation.”
I have additional notes, if the literal source on the history of math is insufficient to convince you of the history of math.
Huh, guy did a …couple things
I’m surprised they didn’t just rename mathamatics after him and be done with it
Eulerology? Eulerhythmics? Eultonics? Euleronomics?

Sweet memes are made of this.
Eulerics
Eurythmics
Great band
You should elaborate. Talk to me…
…like lemmings do.

Algebra was named after al-Jabir, whose name in Latin is Geber.

Okay, maybe I got “algebra” confused with “gibberish” qua relation to al-Jabir…
