First edition.
An important method of analysis composed by the mathematician Charles Reyneau (1656-1728) at the request of Malebranche, who had been asked to illustrate the progress made in mathematics at the beginning of the 18th century.
"L'auteur a recueilli dans cet ouvrage les principales théories répandues dans les œuvres de Descartes, Leibnitz, Newton, les Bernoulli, etc., et démontré plusieurs méthodes qui ne l'avaient pas été jusqu'alors" (Quérard).
"Reyneau's most notable contribution to mathematical education was Analyse démontrée (1708). It was from the second edition of this work that d'Alembert learned the fundamentals of the subject" (DSB).
