Brook Taylor
Born: 18 Aug 1685 in Edmonton, Middlesex, England
Died: 29 Dec 1731 in Somerset House, London, England
Brook Taylor 's father was John Taylor and his mother was Olivia Tempest. John Taylor was the son of Natheniel Taylor who was recorder of Colchester and a member representing Bedfordshire in Oliver Cromwell's Assembly, while Olivia Tempest was the daughter of Sir John Tempest. Brook was, therefore, born into a family which was on the fringes of the nobility and certainly they were fairly wealthy. Taylor was brought up in a household where his father ruled as a strict disciplinarian, yet he was a man of culture with interests in painting and music. Although John Taylor had some negative influences on his son, he also had some positive ones, particularly giving his son a love of music and painting. Brook Taylor grew up not only to be an accomplished musician and painter, but he applied his mathematical skills to both these areas later in his life. As Taylor's family were well off they could afford to have private tutors for their son and in fact this home education was all that Brook enjoyed before entering St John's College Cambridge on 3 April 1703. By this time he had a good grounding in classics and mathematics. At Cambridge Taylor became highly involved with mathematics. He graduated with an LL.B. in 1709 but by this time he had already written his first important mathematics paper (in 1708) although it would not be published until 1714. We know something of the details of Taylor thoughts on various mathematical problems from letters he exchanged with Machin and Keill

Branch of Science Mathematicians Nationality English
Taylor, Brook (1685-1731)

English mathematician who wrote on the mathematical theory of perspective (he gave the first general statement of vanishing points ), as well as magnetism capillary actions, thermometers and calculus He invented the method for expanding functions in terms of polynomials about an arbitrary point known as Taylor series which he published in Methodus in crementorum directa et inversa (1715). Taylor series were a generalization of the Maclaurin series devised by Maclaurin . However, they had actually been known by Gregory long before, and in essence were also known to Johann Bernoulli . Taylor was one of the first to recognize the existence of singular solutions to differential equations

In calculus Taylor's theorem , named after the mathematician Brook Taylor , who stated it in , gives the approximation of a differentiable function near a point by a polynomial whose coefficients depend only on the derivatives of the function at that point. The most basic example is the approximation of the exponential function e x near x = 0. Namely, The precise statement of the theorem is as follows: If n integer and f is a function which is n times continuously differentiable on the closed interval a x ] and n open interval a x ), then we have Here, n ! denotes the factorial of n , and R n is a remainder term which depends on x and is small if x is close enough to a . Several expressions for R n are available.

Taylor, Brook
The English mathematician Brook Taylor, b. Aug. 18, 1685, d. Dec. 29, 1731, formulated (1712) a noted theorem (see TAYLOR'S THEOREM) in calculus for expanding functions into infinite series. He did not, however, grasp the fundamental importance that Joseph de LAGRANGE later assigned to what are now called Taylor series. In Methodus incrementorum directa et inversa (Direct and Inverse Incremental Method, 1715) he invented integration by parts and founded the calculus of finite differences, and in Linear Perspective (1715) he developed a rigorous theory of perspective.

From the year 1712 onwards he wrote numerous papers in the Philosophical Transactions, in which, among other things, he discussed the motion of projectiles, the centre of oscillation, and the forms taken by liquids when raised by capillarity.

The applications of the calculus to various questions given in the Methodus have hardly received that attention they deserve. The most important of them is the theory of the transverse vibrations of strings, a problem which had baffled previous investigators. The Methodus also contains the earliest determination of the differential equation of the path of a ray of light when traversing a heterogeneous medium; and, assuming that the density of the air depends only in its distance from the earth's surface, Taylor obtained by means of quadratures the approximate form of the curve. The form of the catenary and the determination of the centres of oscillation and percussion are also discussed.

Click the map area of interest below to enlarge to a sketch of the pools. The map below is 1:50,000 scale. Note that not all pools are marked (too many in a small area) and there are hundreds of spots on this map not marked that you will want to wet a fly. The most well know pools are marked. If I missed one you think I should add email me . Moreover, some marked locations have more than 5 spots that the fish lay (and like most salmon rivers each lay has a name). Most pools and runs are only good during July, August, and the first week in September. This area is accessed through a dirt road from Provincial Hiway Route 420. The turn off is hard to miss as it is on a steep turn in the road (see map below).
Back to segment 1 , and segment 2 of the Upper Humber River maps. This is the Taylors Brook area (a tributary of the Humber River). This brook has both large mature salmon (double and multisea winter) and grilse (one sea winter salmon). 20+ pound fish are available and lately I'm hearing rumours of 30 pound class fish having been angled (we've seen sone rising). Birchy Basin Pool has easy access via a dirt road but after that you'll want a small light canoe. There are many spots to fish and some are not fished by anyone some years.
To visit Adies Stream you'll want an ATV or small canoe if leaving from Aidies Lake (many portages).

A treatise on perspective by Taylor, published in 1719, contains the earliest general enunciation of the principle of vanishing points; though the idea of vanishing points for horizontal and parallel lines in a picture hung in a vertical plane had been enunciated by Guido Ubaldi in his Perspectivae Libri, Pisa, 1600, and by Stevinus in his Sciagraphia, Leyden, 1608.

Brook Taylor (1685 - 1731)
From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Brook Taylor , born at Edmonton on August 18, 1685, and died in London on December 29, 1731, was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, and was among the most enthusiastic of Newton's admirers. From the year 1712 onwards he wrote numerous papers in the Philosophical Transactions , in which, among other things, he discussed the motion of projectiles, the centre of oscillation, and the forms taken by liquids when raised by capillarity. In 1719 he resigned the secretaryship of the Royal Society and abandoned the study of mathematics. His earliest work, and that by which he is generally known, is his Methodus Incrementorum Directa et Inversa , published in London in 1715. This contains [prop. 7] a proof of the well-known theorem by which a function of a single variable can be expanded in powers of it. He does not consider the convergency of the series, and the proof which involves numerous assumptions is not worth reproducing. The work also includes several theorems on interpolation. Taylor was the earliest writer to deal with theorems on the change of the independent variable; he was perhaps the first to realize the possibility of a calculus of operation, and just as he denotes the n th differential coefficient of y by , so he uses to represent the integral of y ; lastly, he is usually recognized as the creator of the theory of finite differences.
