Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1734, is a wide-ranging inquiry into the nature of mathematics, structured as a dialogue between the author and a mathematician. The author challenges the mathematician's unwavering faith in the mathematical method of fluxions and other contemporary analytical methods, and argues that these methods are often unclear, leading to invalid conclusions. The author contends that mathematics should be pursued logically and without reliance on unproven suppositions. The book's insights on the logical foundations of mathematics remain relevant hundreds of years after its initial publication. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332937271_0

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on the foundations of geometry, as well as the nature of infinity and the concept of limits in mathematics. The author presents an extensive criticism of the use of infinitesimals and fluxions in mathematics, arguing that they lead to logical contradictions and absurdities. He also challenges the prevailing view of infinity as an actual quantity, and argues that it is instead a purely conceptual tool. The book is a valuable contribution to the history and philosophy of mathematics, and it offers a fresh perspective on the foundations of the subject.
