The author, Sandra Bella, divides the analysis into three phases: the preparatory period for infinitesimal methods, the genesis of l'Hospital's influential work on calculus, and the subsequent disputes within the Paris Royal Academy of Sciences regarding the new calculus. Bella highlights the political and intellectual dynamics of this period, including the correspondence among key mathematicians and the eventual acceptance of Leibnizian calculus despite initial resistance. The book serves as a detailed resource for understanding the historical context and evolution of mathematical thought in early modern Europe. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Annals of Science is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
