Description

On the title pages we find this indication: "Traduits de l'allemand, avec notes et des additions. Nouvelle Edition revue e corrigee". This work appeared in Russian in 1768, then in German in 1771. This French translation, published for the first time in 1774, is by Daniel Bernoulli; the numerous notes and additions, placed starting from the second edition of 1795, are by JL Lagrange. It is one of the first attempts to establish the fundamental operations on a rational basis. The first volume deals with determinate analysis. The work also includes the proof of the binomial theorem for an unconstrained index. The second volume deals with indeterminate analysis or Diophantine algebra. It contains the solution of some of the problems proposed by Fermat, which have remained unsolved until now. This work had a great influence on the texts of the 19th and 20th centuries.
