About this Item
Description:
Acta Eruditorum, 1692/ 4. - Leipzig, Grossium & Gleditsch, April 1692, 4°, pp.145-192, feine Broschur. First Edition! Introduction of the term function (p.170)! "The term "function" was introduced casually and parenthetically in the late 17th century.11 but no one at the time made the slightest fuss about it as any kind of conceptual innovation. And that with good reason. The leaders of the early calculus understood their subject very clearly, and they constantly and seamlessly switched between geometric, analytic, and abstract-relational ways of viewing it with ease and fluency. The modern notion of function would have contributed virtually nothing of relevance to any of their concerns. By the same token, a focus on "the evolution of the function concept" would be an anachronistic perspective of little value to our story." Viktor Blasjo: Transcendental Curves in the Leibnizian Calculus (2017), pp.218,241,260 Ravier 116. Seller Inventory # 61452
