A two-track tour of Cauchy's Cours
Abstract
Cauchy published his Cours d'Analyse 200 years ago. We analyze Cauchy's take on the concepts of rigor, continuity, and limit, and explore a pair of approaches in the literature to the meaning of his infinitesimal analysis and his sum theorem on the convergence of series of continuous functions.
