Part of Bradwardine's mathematical work was on the subject of star- polygons, a subject which fascinated the great Kepler, Kegiomontanus. and Cardan, and which has attracted much attention in recent times. The trigonometry of the Arabs was known to him, and his philosophic works contain discus- sions of the infinite and the infinitesimal, which have played so important a part in modern math- ematics. His chief works are: De Causa Dei (1618); De Geometria f>pecttlaliva (1495, 1512, 1530); De Proportioiiihiis (Paris, 1495); De Quadratura Circuli (1495), and De Arithmetica Practica (1.502).
