A new translation makes this classic and important text more generally accessible. The text is placed in its contemporary context, but also related to the interests of practising mathematicians today. This book will be of interest to mathematical historians, researchers, and numerical analysts.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Aus den Rezensionen: "… Tweddle führt auf 13 Seiten in das Werk ein, wobei er eine außerordentlich hilfreiche ‘Konversionsanleitung‘ gibt … Allein 114 Seiten 'Notes' erläutern den Text und geben wichtige Einzelheiten zu den Rechnungen wieder, womit der Leser ein vollständiges Kompendium zum Verständnis jeglicher Details an die Hand bekommt. Damit ist das vorliegende Buch … ein Schmuckstück der Springer Reihe Sources and Studies in the History of Mathematics and Physical Sciences ... Ich kann das Buch nur wärmstens empfehlen …" (Thomas Sonar, Aus der Geschichte der Analysis und der numerischen Mathematik, in: Mathematische Semesterberichte, 2005, Vol. 52, Issue 1, S. 91 ff.)
