Incommensurab.
Accuracy of.
no longer dispute about the infinity of sides of Polygon
which may stand for Circles, nor of the infinity
of variations between a Secant and a tangent
to a Curve. No longer will it be necessary
to draw the side of a square and its diagonal
to represent the Proportion of one quantity to
another. we shall hold by set down a number
each individual [unit] of which is meant to
represent the smallest aliquot we either
can or will consider. the l'infini and
l'infinitesimal we shall leave to be treated
of in the barren part of metaphisics.
