It was this work that was largely responsible for the introduction of Continental methods of analysis and notation into English mathematics. Herschel, Babbage and Peacock, who formed the Analytical Society while still undergraduates at Cambridge, translated and edited Lacroix's work and secured its use as a textbook, first in Cambridge and afterwards, country-wide.
