What exactly is analysis? What are infinitely small or infinitely large
quantities? What are indivisibles and infinitesimals? What are real
numbers, continuity, the continuum, differentials, and integrals?
You’ll
find the answers to these and other questions in this unique book! It
explains in detail the origins and evolution of this important branch of
mathematics, which Euler dubbed the “analysis of the infinite.” A
wealth of diagrams, tables, color images and figures serve to illustrate
the fascinating history of analysis from Antiquity to the present.
Further, the content is presented in connection with the historical and
cultural events of the respective epochs, the lives of the scholars
seeking knowledge, and insights into the subfields of analysis they
created and shaped, as well as the applications in virtually every
aspect of modern life that were made possible by analysis.
