Important commentary on L'Hospital's textbook on differential calculus. Jean-Pierre de Crousaz (1663-1750), a professor of philosophy and mathematics at the Academy of Lausanne, was a great correspondent and a virulent controversialist whose numerous works on many subjects were very much in vogue in their day. With his commentary on L'Hospital, he aims at a more legible approach of the mathematical theories.
