Introducing movement into geometry: Roberval's influence on Leibniz's analysis situs (English)
0 references
A brief analysis of Leibniz' manuscript \textit{Characteristica geometrica} (1679) shows how he sought to improve on the treatment of Euclid and Descartes, basing his axioms on concepts of motion. In this, a principal influence appears to have been Roberval's \textit{Éléments de géométrie}.
