Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes aim at the foundations of mathematics, specifically focusing on the method of fluxions. This system, invented by the influential Sir Isaac Newton, was a groundbreaking method for calculating rates of change. The author delves into the historical debate surrounding fluxions, examining the controversy surrounding its clarity and legitimacy, a debate that raged in the scientific community during Newton's lifetime. The book explores the intricacies of fluxions, highlighting its complexities and potential for misinterpretation. The author criticizes the work of Newton and his followers, claiming that their reasoning contains errors and fallacies, and that they use ambiguous language to disguise these weaknesses. The author's analysis of Newton's work is rooted in the traditional view of mathematics as a system of absolute certainty, placing this new method within a broader context of the evolution of mathematical thought. The book's argument centers on the author's belief that the method of fluxions is fundamentally flawed, and that the flaws are not mere oversights but deliberate attempts to mislead readers. Through rigorous examination of Newton's mathematical arguments, the author aims to undermine the reputation of this influential figure and his mathematical system. The author's passionate defense of traditional mathematical principles offers a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual battles that shaped the development of modern mathematics. 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332131778_0
