On What Has Been Called Leibniz's Rigorous Foundation of Infinitesimal Geometry by Means of Riemannian Sums (2017)

unapi

A number of scholars have recently maintained that a theorem in an unpublished treatise by Leibniz written in 1675 establishes a rigorous foundation for the infinitesimal calculus. I argue that this is a misinterpretation. Eine Reihe von Historikern haben vor kurzem behauptet, dass ein Satz in einer unveröffentlichten Abhandlung von Leibniz, die 1675 geschrieben wurde, eine strenge Grundlage für die Infinitesimalrechnung bildet. Ich behaupte, dass dies eine Fehlinterpretation ist.
