INDIVISIBLE (2)

In′di‐vis″i‐ble, n. 1. 1. That which is indivisible.
By atom, nobody will imagine we intend to express a perfect indivisible, but only the least sort of natural bodies. Digby. 2. 2. (Geom.) An infinitely small quantity which is assumed to admit of no further division.
Method of indivisibles, a kind of calculus, formerly in use, in which lines were considered as made up of an infinite number of points; surfaces, as made up of an infinite number of lines; and volumes, as made up of an infinite number of surfaces.
