back then, everyone wrote religious shit if for no other reason than to have something to show the church to prove that you're not the devil.

newton was also a lifelong virgin.

It seems he means that an infinite number of points *can* make a finite line segment. Obviously they can also make an infinite line.

Wasn't Robert Hooke the one to come up with the idea that gravity is a inverse square law and not Newton?

he was most likely thinking about countably infinite, no?

in fact, the standard argument against this would be, do this with a circle, then draw line through every point that you made the circle with and make radius bigger.

there should now be gaps between the points in the bigger circle, so they were already there in the smaller circle and thus it was impossible after all

>>8391148
>he was most likely thinking about countably infinite, no?

It doesn't matter...in that case then you would consider the length of the greatest interval containing them, so what I said is still true.

Interesting point about the circle, though I don't see how it relates to this example.

I posted a link above to a free calculus textbook. This textbook is unique because it uses Leibniz's way of teaching calculus using infinitesimals as opposed to Newton's way of using limits (which is the most common way it is taught in school these days).

>Newton's way of using limits

Newton didn't use limits, he used fluxions. Newton's calculus resembles what we would call differential geometry of curves and surfaces today.

It was the devout Catholic Cauchy who came up with limits:
