	Arbogast biography
		Arbogast won the prize with his essay and his notion of discontinuous function became important in Cauchy's more rigorous approach to analysis.
		Arbogast was interested in the history of mathematics and classified Mersenne's papers and collected manuscript copies of memoirs and letters of Fermat, Descartes, Johann Bernoulli, Varignon, de L'Hôpital and others.
		Arbogast was friendly with François Français and together they worked on the calculus of derivations and the operational calculus.

	Du Calcul Des Dérivations (Derivations). - ARBOGAST, L. F. A (LOUIS FRANÇOIS ANTOINE).
		Louis François Antoine Arbogast (1759-1803) was a noted French mathematician and professor of mathematics at Colmar College.
		Arbogast here seeks to establish the principles of calculus independently of limits and the infinitely small, with the simplicity and certitude found in ordinary algebra.
		Arbogast was truly an original mathematical thinker who did more than his share in a brief life of 44 years to move the calculus into the future.

	Antoine Arbogast Summary
		Arbogast was also a noteworthy mathematician in his own right; he did the earliest work in discontinuous fractions and predated some developments in calculus.
		Arbogast was interested in the philosophy of mathematics as well as its practice.
		Arbogast submitted an essay to the St Petersburg Academy in which he came down firmly on the side of Euler.

		He was born at Mutzig in Alsace and died at Strasbourg, where he was professor.
		Essentially he realised that there was no rigorous methods to deal with the convergence of series, and Arbogast's career reached new heights.
		The original version of this article was taken from the public domain resource the Rouse History of Mathematics.

	Origins of some arithmetic terms #2
		The word factorial is reported to be the creation of Louis François Antoine Arbogast (1759-1803).
		The symbol now commonly used for factorial seems to have been created by Christian Kramp in 1808 according to a note I found in Lectures on fundamental concepts of algebra and geometry (1911), by John Wesley Young with a note on "The growth of algebraic symbolism" by Ulysses Grant Mitchell.
		It was in the Note by Mitchell (pg 239) that I found the credit for the symbol to Kramp.

		(This information comes from Julio González Cabillón; Cajori indicates in his History of Mathematics that Arbogast introduced this symbol, but it seems he does not show this symbol in A History of Mathematical Notations.
