Methodo - STOCKLER (Francisco de Borja Garção) METHODO Inverso dos Limites . Ou Desenvolvimento Geral das Funções Algorithmicas. Lisboa: Na Typographia de Simão Thaddeo Ferreira, 1824. XII, 140, [2] pp.; 255 mm. This work, of a scientific and pedagogical nature, is by Francisco de Borja Garção Stockler, a central figure in the introduction and consolidation of modern mathematics in Portugal at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries. The Inverse Method of Limits is part of an effort, then still uncommon in the Portuguese context, to systematize and disseminate the fundamentals of infinitesimal calculus, bringing national education closer to the most advanced European mathematical currents. Stockler, a prominent member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Lisbon, played a decisive role in the reform of scientific education and the dissemination of new analytical methods. According to Inocêncio, the author offered this work to the Academy of Sciences for publication, either separately or in his Memoirs, but it was rejected for the third time due to an unfavorable opinion from the censor, leading the author to formally resign from the Academy and have the work printed at his own expense. This copy begins its text on page 3, with one of the folios cut off, but apparently without any missing text. Without being able to confirm, it seems to have been a printing error which, given the private nature of the publication, led to the simplest solution: removing the folio at the time of editing.
