‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE BIEN COMPLET DE CES DEUX TOMES ---- RARE ---- "One of the greatest mathematicians and surely the most universal" (DSB III pp. 131/148) ---- CAUCHY was a prolific and profound mathematician. He was one of the leaders in infusing rigor into analysis. His researches extended over the field of series, of imaginaries, theory of numbers, differential equations, theory of substitutions, theory of functions, determinants, mathematical astronomy, light, elasticity, etc, covering pretty much the whole realm of mathematics, pure and applies... He was the first to publish a rigorous proof of Taylor's theorem. He greatly improved the exposition of fundamental principles of the differential calculus by his mode of considering limits and his new theory on the continuity of function".
