Texts for Chapter 2, The Question of the Existence of Infinitesimals (1669–1676)
摘要
In this chapter we provide translations of early texts by Leibniz on infinitesimals, including relevant extracts from the Accessio and from the Paris manuscripts, both philosophical and mathematical, as well as of a little known text from about 1679, Geometry with the Metaphysics of the Continuum Omitted, for which we also give the Latin transcription.
