Reviews

The Analyse des Infiniment Petits (Analysis of the Infinitely Small) treated the differential calculus as a tool 'for the understanding of curved lines.' ... The result is a truly valuable book: here is the original calculus textbook, with the sources on which it was based, presented in English with an excellent introduction that makes it much easier to follow what is going on. This one is not to be missed! (Fernando Q. Gouvea, MAA Reviews, September, 2015)
