Foundations of Differential Calculus

ISBN-13: 9781475774269 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 194 str.

Euler; J. D. Blanton

Opis

The positive response to the publication of Blanton's English translations of Euler's "Introduction to Analysis of the Infinite" confirmed the relevance of this 240 year old work and encouraged Blanton to translate Euler's "Foundations of Differential Calculus" as well. The current book constitutes just the first 9 out of 27 chapters. The remaining chapters will be published at a later time. With this new translation, Euler's thoughts will not only be more accessible but more widely enjoyed by the mathematical community.

Recenzje

"This instalment ... will be welcomed not only by historians but also by teachers anxious to change from the highfalutin talk of Cauchy-style limits all the time when explaining the calculus." (I.Grattan-Guinness, zbMATH 0949.01030, 2021)
