摘要

John Wallis was one of the leading mathematicians of the 17th century. He made significant achievements in mathematics and in other fields such as cryptography, science, speech and hearing, and theology. Highlights of his career included holding the post of Savillian Professor of Geometry at Oxford, deciphering difficult coded letters, and publishing his brilliant treatise Arithmetica Infinitorum. He made several important discoveries which would set the foundation for future mathematicians such as Isaac Newton to build upon. He was known to be very controversial because he often criticized the work of other mathematicians. However, his personal work and enthusiasm greatly inspired many of his contemporaries, as well as those in the future, to make significant achievements in several fields.
