Cauchy’s contribution to the foundations of analysis is often viewed through the lens of developments that occurred some decades later, namely the formalisation of analysis on the basis of the epsilon-delta doctrine in the context of an Archimedean continuum. What does one see if one refrains from viewing Cauchy as if he had read Weierstrass already? One sees, with Felix Klein, a parallel thread for the development of analysis, in the context of an infinitesimal-enriched continuum. One sees…

Toward a History of Mathematics Focused on Procedures
• Mathematics
• 2016
The proposed formalisations indicate that Robinson’s framework is more helpful in understanding the procedures of the pioneers of mathematical analysis than a Weierstrassian framework, but this does not mean that Fermat, Gregory, Leibniz, Euler, and Cauchy were pre-Robinsonians.

An attentive reading of Cauchy's work challenges received views on Cauche's role in the history of analysis, and indicates that he was a pioneer of infinitesimal techniques as much as a harbinger of the Epsilontik.

Did Weierstrass’s differential calculus have a limit-avoiding character? His definition of a limit in ϵ – δ style
In the 1820s, Cauchy founded his calculus on his original limit concept and developed his theory by using inequalities, but he did not apply these inequalities consistently to all parts of his
