LEIBNIZ: ON CONVERGING SERIES[A VII 3, 798] If one supposes the value of a sector—that is, of a converging series of polygons—given in numbers, no mortal can know whether or not it is composed in the same way from converging terms. Therefore, it does not even serve as a criterion. © Lloyd Strickland 2022 |
