Paperback. Condición: 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.
