微积分学概念溯源例谈

Discussion on the Origin of Some Concepts in Calculus

微积分学中有许多概念看似寻常,但其背后往往都有着或有趣或厚重的渊源。作者在长期教学和科研经验的基础上,从历史和现实两个角度对微积分学中一些典型概念的来源进行了追溯,以求达到解疑释惑、正本清源之目的。

Many concepts in calculus seem to be ordinary, but they usually have interesting origin. Based on long-term teaching and research experiences, the authors retrospect the origin of some classic concepts in calculus from the angle of history and reality, in order to eliminate the doubts and trace the origin.
