ANAMNESIS OF THE THEORY OF THE INDIVISIBLES OF CAVALIERI [ANAMNESIS DE LA TEORÍA DE LOS INDIVISIBLES DE CAVALIERI]

Abstract

Wit hi n t hei r concret e social and cult ural ci rcumst ances, Cavalieri’s indivisibles make up an underst andable theor y seeking its symbols to explain the infinite-continuous at the dawn of European Modernity. Many of the key notions of this theory survive in today’s mathematics. © 2021, Comite Latinoamericano de Matematica Educativa. All rights reserved.
