The similarities are remarkable, but there is also much in l'Hopital's book that is original and innovative.This book offers the first English translation of Bernoulli's notes, along with the first faithful English translation of l'Hopital's text, complete with annotations and commentary.

In 1821, Augustin-Louis Cauchy published a textbook to accompany his course in analysis at the Ecole Polytechnique. It is still regarded as one of the most influential mathematics book ever written, and this is the first English translation of that book.

C. Edward Sandifer, one of the world's leading Euler scholars, presents another collection of his 'How Euler Did It' columns. Each is a jewel of historical and mathematical exposition that will leave the reader marveling at Euler's inventiveness.
