    John Wallis was an English mathematician from the 17th century. He introduced the symbol of infinity and popularized its use in mathematics. Wallis was called the "Human Calculator" because he had a remarkable ability to do complex mental calculations. He introduced the symbol of infinity in his influential book Arithmetica Infinitorum, published in 1655. Some of Wallis' key contributions to mathematics included introducing techniques to calculate integrals and introducing probability theory.
