Springer, 1986. - 339 Pages.

This book originated with a series of lectures on nineteenth-century analysis which I gave at the University of Calabria in 1977-
79. The study of nineteenth-century mathematics presents an extraordinarily rich and fertile field for historical research, particularly when we realize that the production of mathematics in the last century was greater than in all the preceding centuries put together, and that many contemporary theories have their roots in this period.

Birkh?user Basel, 2003. - 185 pages. Euler was not only by far the most productive mathematician in the history of mankind, but also one of the greatest scholars of all time. He attained, like only a few scholars, a degree of popularity and fame which may well be compared with that of Galilei, Newton, or Einstein. Moreover he was a cosmopolitan in the truest sense of the word; he lived during his first twenty years in Basel, was active altogethe...

добавлен 08 февраля 2011 г.

Cambridge University Press, 2003. - 244 pages. Guicciardini presents a comprehensive survey of both the research and teaching of Newtonian calculus, the calculus of "fluxions", over the period between 1700 and 1810. Although Newton was one of the inventors of calculus, the developments in Britain remained separate from the rest of Europe for over a century. While it is usually maintained that after Newton there was a period of decline in British...

Springer, 2008. - 377 pages. This book presents first-year calculus roughly in the order in which it first was discovered. The first two chapters show how the ancient calculations of practical problems led to infinite series, differential and integral calculus and to differential equations. The establishment of mathematical rigour for these subjects in the 19th century for one and several variables is treated in chapters III and IV. The text is...

AMS, 2006. - 302 Pages. Euler is one of the greatest and most prolific mathematicians of all time. He wrote the first accessible books on calculus, created the theory of circular functions, and discovered new areas of research such as elliptic integrals, the calculus of variations, graph theory, divergent series, and so on. It took hundreds of years for his successors to develop in full the theories he began, and some of his themes are still at...
