Popis:	Comparative mathematical textbook analysis aims at the de- termination of differences among countries concerning the development and transmission of mathematics. On the other hand, textual statistics provides a means to quantify a text by applying multivariate statistical techniques. So far this statistical approach has not been applied to comparative math- ematical textbook analysis yet. The object of this paper is to quantify and compare the style of a number of textbooks on differential calculus writ- ten in 18th century Europe. To that purpose two multivariate statistical techniques have been applied: 1) simple correspondence analysis and 2) hi- erarchical clustering analysis. The results of both analysis help to detect some interesting associations among the analysed textbooks.
