Infinity calculations by dividing the region into infinitesimal strips of width on the order of formula_2 But in "Arithmetica infinitorum" (1655 also) he indicates infinite series, infinite products and infinite continued fractions by writing down a few terms or factors and then appending "&c." For example, "1, 6, 12, 18, 24, &c." In 1699 Isaac Newton wrote about equations with an infinite number of terms in his work "De analysi per aequationes numero terminorum infinitas". Hermann Weyl opened a mathematico-philosophic address given in 1930 with: The infinity symbol formula_1 (sometimes called the lemniscate) is a mathematical symbol representing the concept of
