The first ever calculus textbook was published in 1696 by Guillaume de l’Hôpital (following lectures given to him by Leibniz) under the name Analyse des Infiniment Petits pour l’Intelligence des Lignes Courbes (Analysis of the infinitely small to understand curved lines).
This book introduced the concepts of limits, derivatives, and integrals, as well as the notation for differentiation and integration. The book also contained the famous l’Hôpital’s rule for finding the limit of a quotient of two functions. The book was influential in spreading the ideas of calculus in Europe and beyond.
