His greatest achievement was perhaps to leave behind a complete work that encompasses almost all areas of knowledge and which he recorded and described using his deductive mathematical method. This made him an outstanding figure of the German Enlightenment. The work presented here was rewritten by him and significantly expanded. In addition to the title ("Foundations of all mathematical sciences"), it also covers the areas of mechanics, hydraulics, optics, astronomy, geography, hydrography, gnomonics, pyrotechnics, architecture, etc. The final fifth volume contains a detailed index as well as bibliographical information on older mathematical works.
