Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 46 page paper looks at the French nineteenth century mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy. The paper begins with an examination of the development of calculus up until the time of Cauchy and then looks at the mathematicians background and how it may have impacted on his work. The majority of the paper looks at his work, with numerous mathematical equations and examples. The paper includes consideration on how he created rigor in calculus, and many of his theories, including work on Fermat’s theories and many other theories of his own. The bibliography cites 20 sources.

and the name. For the contemporaries of the great mathematicians recognition may be harder to gain, the attention has been drawn away form they and focuses on another. Augustin-Louis Cauchy
may be seen as one of the great mathematicians that was unfortunate enough to live whilst there were other great, more popular mathematicians for history to remember. Cauchy was a
man who wan not popular with his peers and suffered due to this lack of popularity as well as his circumstances, but this did not constrain his through and achievements.
Indeed, his prolific writing; more than 700 articles, and wide ranging studies may have been partly in reaction to the circumstances in which he lived. It is only at looking
directly at the work he performed, its range scope and importance that the real value may be fully comprehended. To examine and understand the work of Cauchy it needs
to be placed into the perspective on which it occurred. To gain a context there needs to be a consideration of the development of maths and calculus from its beginnings
up to the time when Cauchy himself started work, as these were the mathematical foundations upon which he was to build. Cauchys own background also needs consideration, as the work
was also a reflection of the man and his circumstances. After this some examples of the type of work he conducted will be examined. It is worth noting that it
would be impossible to examine all of his work, as he worked in almost every area of mathematics, seeking to help students and clarify calculus as well as build on
or prove other theories models and create his own. 2. Background To place the developments of Cauchy into a full context the developments that occurred before his work requires
