	Read This: Squaring the Circle
		The vociferous public quarrel between the philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) and the mathematician John Wallis (1616-1703) was a strange and unpleasant episode in the history of mathematics.
		Wallis sided with Peletier in not considering this kind of angle a genuine magnitude, while Hobbes somewhat agreed with Clavius that it is an infinitely small magnitude, but also found his way out of the dilemma by declaring that rectilinear, curvilinear, and mixtilinear angles are three different kinds of magnitudes that cannot be directly compared.
		Hobbes and Dr. Wallis," is devoted to extramathematical features of the Hobbes/Wallis dispute, with a reminder that the attacks of Wallis and Ward on Hobbesian mathematics were at least partially motivated by their view of Hobbes as expounding views that were inimical to religion and to the universities.
