John Wallis (1616 - 1703) From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. John Wallis was born at Ashford on November 22, 1616, and died at Oxford on October 28, 1703. He was educated at Felstead school, and one day in his holidays, when fifteen years old, he happened to see a book of arithmetic in the hands of his brother; struck with curiosity at the odd signs and symbols in it he borrowed the book, and in a fortnight, with his brother's help, had mastered the subject. As it was intended that he should be a doctor, he was sent to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, while there he kept an ``act'' on the doctrine of the circulation of the blood; that was said to have been the first occasion in Europe on which this theory was publicly maintained in a disputation. His interests, however, centred on mathematics. In 1655 Wallis published a treatise on conic sections in which they were defined analytically. I have already mentioned that the of Descartes is both difficult and obscure, and to many of his contemporaries, to whom the method was new, it must have been incomprehensible. This work did something to make the method intelligible to all mathematicians: it is the earliest book in which these curves are considered and defined as curves of the second degree. The most important of Wallis's works was his Arithmetica Infinitorum , which was publishd in 1656. In this treatise the methods of analysis of Descartes and Cavalieri were systematised and greatly extended, but their logical exposition is open to criticism. It at once became the standard book on the subject, and is constantly referred to by subsequent writers. It is prefaced by a short tract on conic sections. He commences by proving the law of indices; shews that

He was a highly respected man known widely in the area. The Reverend Wallis married Joanna Chapman, who was his second wife, in 1612 and John was the third of their five children. When young John was about six years old his father died. John went to school in Ashford but an outbreak of the plague in the area led to his mother to decide that it would be best for him to move away. He went to James Movat's grammar school in Tenterden, Kent, in 1625 where he first showed his great potential as a scholar. Writing in his autobiography, Wallis comments [28]:- It was always my affection, even from a child, not only to learn by rote, but to know the grounds or reasons of what I learnt; to inform my judgement as well as to furnish my memory. In 1630, still only 13 years of age, he considered himself ready for university [28]:-

He was a skilled linguist, was one of the first to proclaim in public Harvey’s discovery of the circulation of the blood, and had an extraordinary memory for figures. His Arithmetica Infinitorum was described as “the most stimulating mathematical work so far published in England and introduced the original symbol for infinity (like an "8" lying on its side).” It contained the germs of the differential calculus, and it suggested to Newton, who was delighted by it, the binomial theorem.
