Indeed, mathematicians of the time derived num- ous results that range from the binomial theorem to the Taylor formula, from the power series expansions of elementary functions to trigonometric series, from Stirling’s series to series solution of di?erential equations, from theEuler–MaclaurinsummationformulatotheLagrangeinversiontheorem, from Laplace’s theory of generating functions to the calculus of operations, etc. Most of these results were, however, derived using methods that would be found unacceptable today, thus, if we look back to the theory of series priortoCauchywithoutreconstructinginternalmotivationsandtheconc- tual background, it appears as a corpus of manipulative techniques lacking in rigor whose results seem to be the puzzling fruit of the mind of a - gician or diviner rather than the penetrating and complex work of great mathematicians. For this reason, in this monograph, not only do I describe the entire complex of 17th- and 18th-century procedures and results concerning series, but also I reconstruct the implicit and explicit principles upon which they are based | | 出版日期 | Book 2008 | | 关键词 | Fourier series; Taylor series; calculus; differential equation; number theory | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-73468-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-2520-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-73468-2Series ISSN 2196-8810 Series E-ISSN 2196-8829 | | issn_series | 2196-8810 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York 2008 |
