The French Contribution

Reghinos D. Theocharis

Chapter 5 in Early Developments in Mathematical Economics, 1983, pp 56-91 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Forbonnais has the distinction of being the first author to use expressly mathematical reasoning and symbols in French, a language which was later to become the channel of some of the most important developments in mathematical economics. The second volume of his Élémens du Commerce published anonymously in 1754 contains two such instances.
