Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, sharp, inspiring The
17th-century calculus of Newton and Leibniz was built on shaky
foundations, and it wasn't until the 18th and 19th centuries that
mathematicians—especially Bolzano, Cauchy, and
Weierstrass—began to establish a rigorous basis for the subject.
The resulting discipline is now known to mathematicians as
analysis. This book, aimed at readers with some grounding in
mathematics, describes the nascent evolution of mathematical
analysis, its development as a subject in its own right, and its
wide-ranging applications in mathematics and science, modelling
reality from acoustics to fluid dynamics, from biological systems
to quantum theory. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions
series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in
almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect
way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors
combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to
make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
