Infinite Series in a History of Analysis

Stages up to the Verge of Summability

af Hans-Heinrich Koerle

Infinite series are the unifying thread that runs through the history of mathematical analysis. Ever since the 17th century, they have also been inseparably linked to infinitesimal calculus, and form its backbone. This book includes the historical reflections, insights and outlooks that serve to deepen the student's understanding of analysis.
