Manuscript evidence shows that its professor, Gregorio of San Vicente SJ, had developed a logically sound integration method more than a decade before Cavalieri, but in the 1620s was forbidden to publish by his superiors. San Vicente's students were dispersed all over Europe, through them his methods influenced numerous mathematicians, Leibniz and Huygens among them. Many of these students became famous mathematicians in their own right. Ad Meskens convincingly shows, by carefully tracing their careers and outlining their biographies, that their contributions to mathematics, mechanics, optics and architecture were more often than not ground breaking"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aJesuit Studies 606 $aMathematics$zBelgium$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aMathematicians$zBelgium$vBiography 606 $aMathematics teachers$zBelgium$vBiography 607 $aBelgium$xIntellectual life$y17th century 615 0$aMathematics$xHistory 615 0$aMathematicians 615 0$aMathematics teachers 676 $a510.711493 700 $aMeskens$b Ad$0767385 702 $aLooy$b Herman van 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794687303321 996 $aBetween tradition and innovation$93764840 997 $aUNINA
