Edward\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1821, Augustin-Louis Cauchy (1789-1857) published a textbook, the Cours d’analyse, to accompany his course in analysis at the Ecole Polytechnique. It is one of the most influential mathematics books ever written. Not only did Cauchy provide a workable definition of limits and a means to make them the basis of a rigorous theory of calculus, but he also revitalized the idea that all mathematics could be set on such rigorous foundations. Today, the quality of a work of mathematics is judged in part on the quality of its rigor, and this standard is largely due to the transformation brought about by Cauchy and the Cours d’analyse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this translation, the authors have also added commentary, notes, references, and an index.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2009-08-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441905482\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-0549-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 412\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450532851852,"sku":"9781441905482","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441905482.jpg?v=1775739230","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781441905482","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
