“The Introductio does not boast an impressive number of editions, yet its influence was pervasive.”

Carl B. Boyer (1906–1976) American mathematician

On the work of Leonhard Euler, in " The Foremost Textbook of Modern Times http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Extras/Boyer_Foremost_Text.html" (1950)
Context: The Introductio does not boast an impressive number of editions, yet its influence was pervasive. In originality and in the richness of its scope it ranks among the greatest of textbooks; but it is outstanding also for clarity of exposition. Published two hundred and two years ago, it nevertheless possesses a remarkable modernity of terminology and notation, as well as of viewpoint. Imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery.
