Abstract

In 1802 Lacroix published a Traité élémentaire du calcul différentiel et du calcul intégral (Elementary treatise of differential and integral calculus) [Lacroix 1802a]. According to the publisher’s list of elementary works by Lacroix, it was “tiré en partie”1 from the large Traité [Lacroix 1802a, ii]. Indeed it is mostly an abridged version of the latter. It is divided into a “first part: differential calculus”, a “second part: integral calculus” and an “appendix: on differences and series”. The correspondence between these three parts and the three volumes of the large Traité is perfect.KeywordsPower SeriesTaylor SeriesGeometrical ConstructionAnalytic GeometryIntegral CalculusThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
