Elenchus Geometriae Hobbianae (1655)

Elenchus Geometriae Hobbianae est opus mathematicum a Joanne Wallis anno MDCLV editum. In hoc libro Wallis tractat de geometria cartesiana, quae est fundamentum philosophiae naturalis Renati Descartes. Wallis disputat contra assertionem Thomae Hobbes, qui negat geometriae demonstrationem. Wallis ostendit quod geometria demonstrationem habet, quia est basata super axiomata quae sunt indubitabilia. In additione, Wallis describit methodum suam, quae est usus symbolorum algebraicorum ad resolvendum problemata geometrica. Elenchus Geometriae Hobbianae est opus magnum quod illustrat mathematicam anglicanam saeculi XVII.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
