L'Hôpital's Analyse des infiniments petits An Annotated Translation with Source Material by Johann Bernoulli /

This monograph is an annotated translation of what is considered to be the world's first calculus textbook, originally published in French in 1696. That anonymously published textbook on differential calculus was based on lectures given to the Marquis de l'Hôpital in 1691-2 by the great S...
