In 1821, Augustin-Louis Cauchy (1789-1857) published a textbook, the Cours dâ€™analyse, to accompany his course in analysis at the Ecole Polytechnique. It is one of the most influential mathematics books ever written. Not only did Cauchy provide a workable definition of limits and a means to make them the basis of a rigorous theory of calculus, but he also revitalized the idea that all mathematics could be set on such rigorous foundations. Today, the quality of a work of mathematics is judged in part on the quality of its rigor, and this standard is largely due to the transformation brought about by Cauchy and the Cours dâ€™analyse. For this translation, the authors have also added commentary, notes, references, and an index.
