The main part of the third volume of Dr Whiteside's annotated and
critical edition of all the known mathematical papers of Isaac
Newton reproduces, from the original autograph, Newton's elaborate
tract on infinite series and fluxions (the so-called Methodus
Fluxionum), including a formerly unpublished appendix on
geometrical fluxions. Ancillary documents include, in Part 1,
papers on the integration of algebraic functions and, in Part 2,
short texts dealing with geometry and simple harmonic motion in a
cycloidal arc. Part 3 reproduces, from both manuscript versions of
Newton's Lectiones Opticae and from his Waste Book, mathematical
excerpts from his researches into light and the theory of lenses at
this period. An appendix summarizes mathematical highlights in his
contemporary correspondence.
