For The Sake Of Brevity,

For Since The Fabric Of The Universe Is Most Perfect And The Work Of A Most Wise Creator, Nothing At All Takes Place In The Universe In Which Some Rule Of Maximum Or Minimum Does Not Appear.

If A Nonnegative Quantity Was So Small That It Is Smaller Than Any Given One, Then It Certainly Could Not Be Anything But Zero. To Those Who Ask What The Infinitely Small Quantity In Mathematics Is, We Answer That It Is Actually Zero. Hence There Are Not So Many Mysteries Hidden In This Concept As They Are Usually Believed To Be. These Supposed Mysteries Have Rendered The Calculus Of The Infinitely Small Quite Suspect To Many People. Those Doubts That Remain We Shall Thoroughly Remove In The Following Pages, Where We Shall Explain This Calculus.

Nothing Takes Place In The World Whose Meaning Is Not That Of Some Maximum Or Minimum.

For The Sake Of Brevity, We Will Always Represent This Number 2.718281828459... By The Letter E.

Logic Is The Foundation Of The Certainty Of All The Knowledge We Acquire.
