"Analysis" essentially means "calculus-related". Its formation took place from 1650–1700, and Newton and Leibniz were its progenitors. Two men were responsible for the expansion and consolidation of analysis in the 18th century:
* Leonhard Euler, born 1707 in Basel, Switzerland.
* Lagrange, who lived from 1736–1813. He was an Italian that moved first to Germany, then France (and who is often mistaken for French as a result of this move in conjunction with his characteristically French-sounding name). One of the characteristic topics of study in analysis are infinite series:

One of the characteristic topics of study in analysis are infinite series: A famous mathematical problem, known as the "Basel Problem" after the birthplace of Leonhard Euler, was solved by him using several different methods. A proof developed by Euler is the subject of Dunham's essay in the course reader. Aside: the term "physics" is a modern term that was once decomposed into "mathematics" and "natural philosophy". Lagrange might be considered a physicist in the modern sense.
