""L'Hospital was a major figure in the early development of the calculus on the continent of Europe. he advanced its cause not only by his scientific works but also by his many contacts, including correspondence with Leibniz, Jean Bernouilli, and with Huygens. Fontenelle tells us that it was he who introduced Huygens to the new calculus.""(DSB).
