About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The First Three Sections of Newton's Principia: With an Appendix, and the Ninth and Eleventh Sections

Now since the quantities or ratios tend continually to equality, the ratio of their difference to either of them must always be greater than that of the difference of their limits to either of the limits, that is than D L or D L D, either of which is a finite ratio. But by the hypothesis the ratio of their difference to either of them may be made less than any finite ratio, which is absurd; therefore the limits are not unequal, that is, they are equal.
