Niccolo Cusano - Scritti matematici. Introduzione, traduzione e note (Mathematical Writings)

This work concentrates on Cusa's extensive studies in addressing and solving complex mathematical problems. It demonstrates the workings of a brilliant mind of great depth and agility, and one perhaps not surprisingly that concluded a number of insights that stood in stark contrast with many orthodoxies of his day. Most notable amongst these being Cusa's assertion that the earth was not the centre of the universe, nor was it at rest, nor were its poles fixed. Views Cusa had reached before Copernicus was even born.
