He was particularly inspired by the pedagogical conceptions of Clairaut and, in addition, by those of the masters of Port-Royal and Pascal and Descartes. For more than half a century, through his writings and lectures, Lacroix thus contributed to an era of renewal and expansion in the exact sciences and to the training of numerous nineteenth-century mathematicians.".
