His findings are known from his correspondance with Mersenne and Roberval among others. The analysis of his method allows us to conclude that Fermat approached to the concept of limits and he was a pioneer in writing a method to determinate maxima and minima from a geometric perspective.56 p.application/pdfspacc-by-nc-nd (c) Mariana Ramı́rez Castro, 2019http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Història de la matemàticaTreballs de fi de grauCàlcul diferencialFuncions de variables realsHistory of mathematicsBachelor's thesesDifferential calculusFunctions of real variablesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
