About This Book

A concise biographical and analytico-bibliographic survey outlines the subject's life and assembles a systematic catalogue of his writings. Sections provide critical analysis of his mathematical contributions, addressing topics in analysis, functions of one and several variables, periodic and abelian functions, differential equations, and applications to mechanics. Separate parts treat geometry, historical essays, educational and pedagogical papers, and miscellaneous publications. Appendices and notes supply bibliographic details, reports by contemporaries, and corrections, while the combined narrative, analytical commentary, and enumerated works guide readers through the scope and organization of the corpus.
