Der dritte Teil enthält insbesondere seine mathematischen Schriften. - "In his De circuli quadratura (1450) Nicholas used a computational approach similar to that employed in his Transmutationes geometricae , it is uncertain what earlier authors may have influenced this work. The De circuli is remarkable for its discussion of the disputed intermediate value theorem, derived from Aristotle, and of the angle-of-contingence problem and the problem of exactly squaring a circle."
