Silvestre François Lacroix was not a prominent mathematical researcher, but he was certainly a most influential mathematical book author. His most famous work is the three-volume Traité du calcul différentiel et du calcul intégral, which is an encyclopedic appraisal of 18th-century calculus that remained the standard reference on the subject through much of the 19th century. This book provides the first global and detailed study of Lacroix's Traité Traité du calcul.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Lacroix and the Calculus “

Rezension zu „Lacroix and the Calculus “
From the reviews:"The present book is a thorough presentation of the calculus from Lacroix's point of view ... . Lacroix and the calculus concludes with four appendices, a Bibliography (thirty-three pages), and an index. ... Anyone interested in the history of the calculus will find this book to be of great interest and value in his or her own studies." (F. J. Papp, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 i)
