Cauchy's method from two centuries ago for computing integrals along the real axis by passing into the complex plane is not rigorous by present-day standards. Yet when properly formulated, his original approach is simpler than modern…
A new integral representation is derived using a definite integral given by Cauchy and used to evaluate a number of integrals containing the finite series of special functions.
19th century real analysis received a major impetus from Cauchy's work. Cauchy mentions variable quantities, limits, and infinitesimals, but the meaning he attached to these terms is not identical to their modern meaning. Some Cauchy…
Cauchy published his Cours d'Analyse 200 years ago. We analyze Cauchy's take on the concepts of rigor, continuity, and limit, and explore a pair of approaches in the literature to the meaning of his infinitesimal analysis and his sum…
There seems to be quite a bit of room for interesting things related to surfaces M in C^m with real dimension m which are totally real and aspects of several complex variables on C^m around M. A basic case occurs when m = 1, with Cauchy…
In this article we take a historical tour through the Cauchy-Riemann equations and their relationship with Cauchy's theorem on the independence with respect to the path of the integral of a holomorphic function. Because of its importance we…
The periods, introduced by Kontsevich and Zagier, form a class of complex numbers which contains all algebraic numbers and several transcendental quantities. Little has been known about qualitative properties of periods. In this paper, we…
It is a ubiquitous opinion among mathematicians that a real number is just a point in the line. If this rough definition is not enough, then a mathematician may provide a formal definition of the real numbers in the set theoretic and…
As an application of Cauchy's Theorem we prove that $\int_0^1\arctan\left({\arctanh x-\arctan x\over \pi+\arctanh x-\arctan x}\right) {dx\over x}= {\pi\over 8}\log{\pi^2\over 8}$ answering a question first posted in Mathematics Stack…
Like his colleagues de Prony, Petit, and Poisson at the Ecole Polytechnique, Cauchy used infinitesimals in the Leibniz-Euler tradition both in his research and teaching. Cauchy applied infinitesimals in an 1826 work in differential geometry…
Efforts to give an improved mathematical meaning to Feynman's path integral formulation of quantum mechanics started soon after its introduction and continue to this day. In the present paper, one common thread of development is followed…
Cauchy's sum theorem of 1821 has been the subject of rival interpretations ever since Robinson proposed a novel reading in the 1960s. Some claim that Cauchy modified the hypothesis of his theorem in 1853 by introducing uniform convergence,…
The Dirac delta function has solid roots in 19th century work in Fourier analysis and singular integrals by Cauchy and others, anticipating Dirac's discovery by over a century, and illuminating the nature of Cauchy's infinitesimals and his…
In this paper we continue the development of the differential calculus started by Aragona-Ferandez-Juriaans. Guided by the topology introduced recently by those authors we introduce the notion of membranes and extend the definition of…
The paper suggests a slightly more rigorous justification to Wang et al.'s work from 2007, and introduces the Slanted Line Integral.
In these notes we discuss some relations between complex analysis (derivatives of Cauchy integrals) and curvatures of curves and surfaces. In higher dimensions the Cauchy integrals are based on generalizations of complex analysis using…
The notion of $\tau$-tilting theory was introduced by Adachi, Iyama and Reiten at the beginning of the last decade and quickly became one of the most active areas of research in the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras. The…
We prove in three ways the basic fact of analysis that complex derivatives are continuous. The first, classical, proof of Cauchy and Goursat uses integration. The second proof of Whyburn and Connell is topological and is based on the…
Based on continued fractions with subtractions, we identify the set of real numbers with the set of infinite integer sequences with all terms but the first one greater or equal to two. Each such sequence produces in a canonical way a unique…
Working in the p-adic analog of the complex numbers, we'll define a line integral on a small arc of a circle. This allows new versions of the Residue Theorem, the Cauchy-Goursat Theorem on discs with and without holes, Cauchy's Integral…
