The author first sketches the general situation of mathematics in Western Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries with particular emphasis on the role the education in the Jesuit colleges played in this period. After that he takes a closer look at the work of Grégoire de Saint-Vincent and his ``Opus geometricum'' of 1647, particularly on his treatment of the logarithmic function. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0862.00010].
