42. Mathematics At Balliol C17-18 john keill entered Balliol in 1694 and in 1712 he was elected Savilian Professorof Astronomy on the recommendation of Edmund Halley. http://users.ox.ac.uk/~kch/ballmath/baroque.html

Mathematics at Balliol College, Oxford The Enlightenment David Gregory (1659-1708) A nephew of James Gregory, inventor of the Gregorian telescope, David was a friend of Newton and one of the earliest proponents of his theories. It was Gregory's notes which formed the basis of MacLaurin's Treatise of practical geometry . He was appointed Savilian Professor of Astronomy in 1692. Gregory's main contributions were, like his uncle, in the areas of calculus and optics. Further information about Gregory John Keill (1671-1721) John Keill entered Balliol in 1694 and in 1712 he was elected Savilian Professor of Astronomy on the recommendation of Edmund Halley. Keill's main contributions were in the area of mechanics and physics, and he is said to have given inspiring lectures and demonstrations. His Introductiones ad veram Physicam et veram Astronomiam was both an influential exposition of Newton's theories, and a defence of Newton's priority in developing calculus. Further information about Keill James Stirling (1692-1770) James Stirling was one of the very early holders of the Snell Exhibition at Balliol, matriculating in 1711. Whilst in Oxford he wrote his

Mordechai Feingold. xv + 218 pp. New York Public Library and Oxford University Press, 2004. $22.50. The exhibits of Newton's works at Cambridge University Library in 2001 and at the New York Public Library from October 8, 2004, to February 5, 2005, were of note, among other reasons, for the attention they drew to a December 2004 auction of rare Newton manuscripts. Mordechai Feingold has, meanwhile, created a lavishly illustrated and immensely entertaining companion volume to the New York display of Newton's great achievement. The book serves to demonstrate that the rationalism of the European Enlightenment, which was marked by upheaval in America and in France, was defined in such large measure by the conception and diffusion of Newton's great works in mathematics and physics that the epoch could be viewed as the Newtonian Moment.

He entered St. John's College, Cambridge, as a fellow-commoner in 1701, and took degrees of LL.B. and LL.D. respectively in 1709 and 1714. Having studied mathematics under John Machin and John Keill, he obtained in 1708 a remarkable solution of the problem of the "center of oscillation", which, however, remaining unpublished until May 1714 ( Phil. Trans. , vol. XXVIII, p. 11), his claim to priority was unjustly disputed by John Bernoulli. Taylor's Methodus Incrementorum Directa et Inversa (London, 1715) added a new branch to the higher mathematics, now designated the calculus of finite differences. Among other ingenious applications, he used it to determine the form of movement of a vibrating string, by him first successfully reduced to mechanical principles. The same work contained the celebrated formula known as "Taylor's Theorem", the importance of which remained unrecognized until 1772, when

This theorem was set forth in his Methodus incrementorum directa et inversa (1715), which gave the first published treatment of the calculus of finite differences. His Linear Perspective (1715) expounded the principle of vanishing points and was of value to artists.

57. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (1646 - 1716) The last years of his life from 1709 to 1716 - were embittered by the longcontroversy with john keill, Newton, and others, as to whether he had http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Leibniz/RouseBall/RB_Leibnitz.html

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (1646 - 1716) From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (or Leibniz At Paris he met Huygens who was then residing there, and their conversation led Leibnitz to study geometry, which he described as opening a new world to him; though as a matter of fact he had previously written some tracts on various minor points in mathematics, the most important being a paper on combinations written in 1668, and a description of a new calculating machine. In January, 1673, he was sent on a political mission to London, where he stopped some months and made the acquaintance of Oldenburg, Collins, and others; it was at this time that he communicated the memoir to the Royal Society in which he was found to have been forestalled by Mouton. In 1673 the Elector of Mainz died, and in the following year Leibnitz entered the service of the Brunswick family; in 1676 he again visited London, and then moved to Hanover, where, till his death, he occupied the well-paid post of librarian in the ducal library. His pen was thenceforth employed in all the political matters which affected the Hanoverian family, and his services were recognized by honours and distinctions of various kinds, his memoranda on the various political, historical, and theological questions which concerned the dynasty during the forty years from 1673 to 1713 form a valuable contribution to the history of that time. Leibnitz's appointment in the Hanoverian service gave him more time for his favourite pursuits. He used to assert that as the first-fruit of his increased leisure, he invented the differential and integral calculus in 1674, but the earliest traces of the use of it in his extant note-books do not occur till 1675, and it was not till 1677 that we find it developed into a consistent system; it was not published till 1684. Most of his mathematical papers were produced within the ten years from 1682 to 1692, and many of them in a journal, called the

59. The Newton/Leibniz Conflict In Context In the course of this debate the mathematicians john keill and Johann Newton s follower, john keill, would level the charge that Leibniz made only http://www.math.rutgers.edu/courses/436/Honors02/newton.html

The Newton/Leibniz Conflict in Context Anand Kandaswamy Introduction Newton's Personality and Conflicts It would be a wise choice. In 1672, Leibniz met the mathematician Chritian Huygens in Paris [Ha 2, pg.131]. It was here that Leibniz began to reveal his talent for mathematics for the first time [Ha 3, pg.48]. However, Leibniz was handicapped to some extent by his great pride. Hall writes of Leibniz, "Yet Leibniz was by no means a modest man. He was really different from Newton in this respect [Ha 3, pg.48]." Whe Leibniz made his first visit to England in 1673, he sought out the mathematician John Pell and showed him what he believed was an original discovery. Leibniz believed that he had found "...a method of forming the terms of any continually increasing or decreasing series whatever from a certain sort of differences that I call generative...[Ha 3, pg.54]" Leibniz seems to have been very boastful in making this claim. He was thus shocked when Pell informed him that his "discovery" was no such thing, a nd that it had been advanced already by a man named Frangois Regnauld [Ha, pg.134]. Hall states that while Leibniz had definitely seen a copy of the book containing Regnauld's discovery, his method was sufficiently different from Regnauld's that he should not be judged too harshly [Ha 2, pg.134]. This incident was painful for Leibniz, who at this time, was in many ways still quite ignorant of the developments in various fields [Ha 3, pg.54]. To avoid the suspicion that he had stolen Regnauld's idea, Leibniz wrote a letter explaining his position and the development of his ideas to Oldenburg [Ha 2,pg.133]. Someow a copy of this letter came into Newton's hands [Ha 3, pg.55]. In his later dispute with Leibniz, Newton would seize upon this event as proof of Leibniz's dishonesty [Ch, pg.504].
