Elenchus Geometriae Hobbianae (1655)

Elenchus Geometriae Hobbianae est opus mathematicum scriptum a Joanne Wallis in anno MDCLV. Libellus est commentarius ad opus philosophicum Thomae Hobbes, Leviathan, in quo Wallis ostendit errores geometricos et mathematios quos Hobbes commisit in sua doctrina. Wallis, qui fuit professor mathematicarum apud Universitatem Oxoniensem, demonstrat multos theorematum geometricorum et algebraicorum, et refutat opiniones Hobbesianas de infinitate et indivisibilitate spatii et temporis. Elenchus Geometriae Hobbianae est opus importante in historia philosophiae et mathematicae, et demonstrat controversiam inter Hobbesianos et Cartesianos in mathematicis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
