Newton's mathematical researches during the last five years of his
stay in Cambridge before leaving in April 1696 to take up his
duties at the Mint in London have three main centres of interest:
methods of fluxions and series, classical pure geometry, and
Cartesian analytical geometry. Part 1 reproduces Newton's advances
at this time in further extending the techniques of his combined
calculus of fluxions and fluent, and of expansion into infinite
series. Part 2 gives publication of Newton's lengthy excursions in
the early 1690s into the modes of geometrical analysis used by the
'ancient' geometers, based - by way of Commandino's Latin
translation - on the account of this little understood field of the
Greek 'topos analuomenos' which was given by Pappus in the
prolegomenon to the seventh book of his Mathematical Collection.
Part 3 gives prominence to the final text of the Enumeratio
Linearum Tertii Ordinis which Newton put together in June 1695.
