Irrationalité des nombres, irrationalité des lignes selon Michael Stifel et Simon Stevin (2014)

unapi

Irrationality of numbers, irrationality of lines according to Michael Stifel and Simon Stevin In this paper we study numerical interpretations of the classification of irrational lines presented by Euclid in Book X of the Elements, interpretations that were given by Michael Stifel and Simon Stevin, two algebrists of the Renaissance. We emphasise the similarities and the differences between their interpretations, and we place them in the context of a general arithmetical project proposed by the two authors.
