He doesn’t have his own achievements?

I have heard of the Nyquist frequency, the nyquist limit, the nyquist sampling rate and the Shannon nyquist theorem.

As far as I know no other individual has had this many “things” named after him.

Note that the "Known for" section on his main page has 119 elements. But they're not all named after him.

Oh my! You buried the lede:

"In an effort to avoid naming everything after Euler, some discoveries and theorems are attributed to the first person to have proved them _after_ Euler."
