Maclaurin
Biography of colin maclaurin (16981746) colin maclaurin was born in Kilmodanwhere his father, John maclaurin, was the minister of the parish.
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Maclaurin.html

Extractions: You can see a picture of Kilmodan Church John Maclaurin was more of a scholar than one would expect of a parish minister, for he had translated the Psalms into Gaelic. Colin, however, never knew his father, for he died when Colin was six weeks old. Colin was the youngest of three sons, the oldest being John, while the second was Daniel who died at a young age. Colin Maclaurin's mother inherited a small estate in Argyllshire and it was on the estate that Colin spent the early years of his life. His mother wanted a good education for Colin and his brother John, so the family moved to Dumbarton where the boys attended school. In 1707, when Colin was nine years old, his mother died so the task of bringing up Colin and his brother John fell to their uncle Daniel Maclaurin who was the minister at Kilfinnan on Loch Fyne. Colin became a student at the University of Glasgow in 1709 at the age of eleven years. This may seem an unbelievable age for someone to begin their university education, but it was not so amazing at this time as it would be today. Basically Scottish schools and universities competed for the best pupils at that time, rather than a university education being seen as following a school education as is the norm today.

Extractions: Scottish mathematician who became a disciple of Newton . He published the first systematic formulation of Newton's methods in A Treatise of Fluxions (1742). In this work, he developed a method for expanding functions about the origin in terms of series now known as Maclaurin series This method was generalized to expansion about an arbitrary point by Brook Taylor . Maclaurin also invented several devices, made astronomical observations, and improved maps of the Scottish isles. Maclaurin knew Cramer's rule probably as early as 1729.

In 1722 Maclaurin travelled as tutor and companion to the eldest son of Lord Polwarth, and after a short stay in Paris resided for some timc in Lorraine, where he wrote an essay on the percussion of bodies which obtained the prize of the French Academy of Sciences for the year I 724. The following year he was elected professoi of mathematics in the university of Edinburgh on the urgent recommendation of Newton. After the death of Newton, ir 1728, his nephew, John Conduitt, applied to Maclaurin for hi~ assistance in publishing an. account of Newtons life and discoveries. This Maclaurin gladly undertook, but the death oi Conduitt put a stop to the project. After Maclaurins death his account of Newtons philosophical discoveries was published by Patrick Murdoch, and also his algebra in 1748. As an appendix to the latter appeared his De linearum geometricarum~proprieta1ibus general-ibus tractatus, a treatise of remarkable elegance. Of the more immediate successors of Newton in Great Britain Maclaurin is probably the only one who can be placed in competition with the great mathematicians of the continent of Europe at the time. (B. W.) Besides the works already cited, MLennan wrote a Life of Thomas Drummond (1867). The vast materials which he had accumulated on kinship were edited by his widow and A. Platt, under the title Studies in Ancient history: Second Series (i 896).

Extractions: Maclaurin was born in Argyllshire and studied at Glasgow. At the age of 19, he was appointed professor at the Marischal College of Aberdeen. On a visit to London in 1719 he first met Isaac Newton. Maclaurin left Aberdeen 1722 to become travelling tutor to the son of an English diplomat, returning to Scotland 1724 to become professor at Edinburgh. He won the admiration of Edinburgh society for his public lectures and demonstrations in experimental physics and astronomy. In 1745, during the Jacobite rebellion, he organized the defence of Edinburgh. Maclaurin's Treatise of Fluxions 1742 was an attempt to prove Newton's doctrine of prime and ultimate ratios and to provide a geometrical framework to support Newton's fluxional calculus. So influential was the treatise that it contributed to the ascendancy of Newtonian mathematics which cut off Britain from developments in the rest of the world.

Extractions: Colin MacLaurin Irish At fifteen years of age, Mr Maclaurin took his degree of master of arts, having passed through the curriculum, or public course of lectures appointed by the university, which must be attended before this honour can be gained. The subject he selected for his thesis, Maclaurin having made such an extraordinary progress in the study of geometry, and having, with little trouble, conquered difficulties which, in general, are looked upon as so formidable, passed at once to the higher branches of that science, and, instead of being deterred from exertion by the intricacy of the demonstrations which necessarily met him at every step as he proceeded in the investigation of difficult propositions, his energies seemed to acquire new life and vigour to enable him to surmount every obstacle in his way. Nothing delighted him more than to be engaged in difficult and curious problems, and this much is certain, that in his sixteenth year he had already invented many of the finest propositions afterwards published under the title of Geometria Organica.
