Literature
Norman, n° 1258 : " Lagrange attempted to show that power series expansions are sufficient to provide a solid foundation for differential calculus, a theme that he had previously outlined in 1772 in a paper entitled Sur une nouvelle espèce de calcul relatif à la différenciation et à l'intégration des quantités variables". - Riccardi, Biblioteca Mathematica, Vol. I, partie 2, col. 3.
Condition
Quelques rousseurs. Annotations et corrections marginales de l'époque.

Catalogue Note
Mathématicien français né à Turin, Lagrange (Turin 1736-Paris 1813) fonde le calcul différentiel et intégral" débarrassé de toute métaphysique", éliminant les références de limite et de mouvement qui l'entravaient depuis Leibniz et Newton. Bel exemplaire.
