Abstract

Cerdà (1715-1791) was a Catalan Jesuit devoted to the teaching of mathematics in Barcelona and Madrid, in the mid-eighteenth century, and who published several mathematicals texts and prepared many others for future publication. One of these manuscripts is a treatise on Differential Calculus, the Tratado de Fluxiones, which is an adaptation of another book, The Doctrine and Application of Fluxions (1750) by an English mathematician, Thomas Simpson (1710-1761). Cerdà managed Simpson’s text into a new shape, basically by thinking of his pupils.
