His most famous work is the three-volume Traité du calcul différentiel et du calcul intégral (1797-1800; 2nd ed. 1810-1819) ? an encyclopedic appraisal of 18th-century calculus which remained the standard reference on the subject through much of the 19th century, in spite of Cauchy's reform of the subject in the 1820's. Lacroix and the Calculus is the first major study of Lacroix?s large Traité. It uses the unique and massive bibliography given by Lacroix to explore late 18th-century calculus, and the way it is reflected in Lacroix?s account. Several particular aspects are addressed in detail, including: the foundations of differential calculus, analytic and differential geometry, conceptions of the integral, and types of solutions of differential equations (singular/complete/general integrals, geometrical interpretations, and generality of arbitrary functions). Lacroix?s large Traité... was adapted for teaching into a shorter, textbook version ? the Traité élémentaire de calcul différentiel et de calcul intégral (1802; several later editions). This adaptation is also analysed. Lacroix and the Calculus should appeal to historians and mathematicians interested in the history of the calculus (and especially in the background to Cauchy and Bolzano) and in its teaching in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. 410 0$aScience networks historical studies ;$vv. 35. 606 $aCalculus$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCalculus$xHistory. 676 $a515.09 700 $aDomingues$b Joa?o Caramalho$0941500 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451549303321 996 $aLacroix and the calculus$92123861 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02922nam 2200601Ia 450 001 9910790351303321 005 20230801223313.0 010 $a1-4571-1753-3 010 $a1-4571-1755-X 010 $a1-60732-180-7 035 $a(CKB)2670000000206253 035 $a(EBL)3039769 035 $a(OCoLC)795127256 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000692170 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11481326 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000692170 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10635685 035 $a(PQKB)11001247 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3039769 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse17353 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3039769 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10576420 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL913709 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000206253 100 $a20120217d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aParallel worlds$b[electronic resource] $egenre, discourse, and poetics in contemporary, colonial, and classic period Maya literature /$fedited by Kerry M.
