‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "In 1700 CROUZAS became a professor of philosophy and mathematics at the Academy of Lausanne. He was elected rector in 1706... Receptive to all the intellectual currents of the age, a great correspondent, and a virulent polemicist, CROUZAS poured into his writings all of his immense knowledge and enriched them with reflections and comments that are still of interest... In analysis the work that made him famous is the Commentaire sur l'analyse des infiniment petits which appeared in 1721, three years after the work of L'Hospital, the contents of which Crousaz examines step by step and in which one can find new examples...".
