Description

The Arithmetic of Infinitesimals is the first complete English translation of John Wallis's foundational Arithmetica Infinitorum (1656), a pivotal seventeenth-century text in the development of calculus. This scholarly edition by Springer includes comprehensive annotations and an introductory essay that contextualise Wallis's revolutionary work for modern readers. The translation reveals how Wallis synthesised groundbreaking mathematical ideas from the preceding two decades and advanced them to create the conceptual framework upon which Isaac Newton built his own discoveries. The book demonstrates the critical intellectual shift of the mid-1600s from geometric to arithmetic and algebraic approaches in mathematics, marking a decisive transformation in mathematical thinking that shaped modern analysis. Essential for historians of mathematics, scholars of scientific development, and anyone studying the origins of calculus and seventeenth-century mathematical innovation.

Key Features

The Arithmetic of Infinitesimals presents the complete first English translation of Wallis's 1656 Arithmetica Infinitorum, making this foundational calculus text fully accessible to contemporary scholars.

Springer's edition includes detailed annotations and a comprehensive introductory essay that contextualise Wallis's mathematical methods and theoretical contributions for modern academic readers.

The translation reveals how Wallis's work synthesised important mathematical developments from prior decades and established the conceptual foundations that Newton subsequently built upon.

This Sources and Studies in the History of Mathematics and Physical Sciences publication documents the crucial seventeenth-century transition from geometric to arithmetic and algebraic mathematical approaches.

The book serves as an essential reference for understanding the development of calculus and the transformation of mathematical thought during the critical mid-1600s period.
