This text presents the ideas of a particular group of
mathematicians of the late 18th century known as "the German
combinatorial school" and its influence. The book tackles several
questions concerning the emergence and historical development of
the German combinatorial analysis, which was the unfinished
scientific research project of that group of mathematicians. The
historical survey covers the three main episodes in the evolution
of that research project: its theoretical antecedents (which go
back to the innovative ideas on mathematical analysis of the late
17th century) and first formulation, its consolidation as a
foundationalist project of mathematical analysis, and its
dissolution at the beginning of the 19th century. In addition, the
book analyzes the influence of the ideas of the combinatorial
school on German mathematics throughout the 19th century.
