CROUZAS, Jean-Pierre de Commentaire sur l'analyse des infiniment petits. Paris F. Montalant 1721 4to: [36]-320 pp.; 4 pl. (sl. browned). Paper binding. Important commentary on L'Hospital's textbook on differential calculus. Jean-Pierre de Crousaz (1663-1750), a professor of philosophy and mathematics at the Academy of Lausanne, was a great correspondent and a virulent controversialist whose numerous works on many subjects were very much in vogue in their day. With his commentary on L'Hospital, he aims at a more legible approach of the mathematical theories. Ref. Macclesfield Library 576.
