Description: |
Provides an English translation of John Wallis's "Arithmetica Infinitorum", a key text on the seventeenth-century development of the calculus. This work displays the crucial mid-seventeenth-century shift from geometry to arithmetic and algebra as the primary language of mathematics. |
Synopsis: |
John Wallis (1616-1703) was the most influential English mathematician prior to Newton. He published his most famous work, Arithmetica Infinitorum, in Latin in 1656. This book studied the quadrature of curves and systematised the analysis of Descartes and Cavelieri. Upon publication, this text immediately became the standard book on the subject and was frequently referred to by subsequent writers. This will be the first English translation of this text ever to be published. |
