English mathematician ISAAC BARROW (1630-1677), one of the inventors of calculus, had a profound impact on his student, Isaac Newton. Here, in this 1916 volume, British historian of mathematics JAMES MARK CHILD translates from the original Latin Barrow's masterpiece, Lectiones Opticae et Geometricae, his lectures on mathematics, demonstrating Barrow's essential role in the development of the higher math. Complete with Child's comprehensive introduction to Barrow's life and notes and discussion on his work, this new edition of an important but hard-to-find book will intrigue students of the history of science and math lovers alike,

1916. Translated with notes and proofs and a discussion on the advance made therein on the work of his predecessors in the infinitesimal calculus. Barrow, was one of the greatest metaphysical mathematicians whose work even inspired Newton!

The impact of the work of German mathematician GOTTFRIED WILHELM LEIBNIZ (1646-1716) on modern science and technology is all but incalculable, but for starters, his notation for infinitesimal calculus-which he developed independently of Newton-remains in use today, and his invention of binary counting is the basis for modern computing. He was a powerfully influential philosopher as well, and is still considered, alongside Descartes and Spinoza, one of the great 17th-century rationalists.With no complete edition of his numerous writings on the wide range of subjects he expounded upon available even today, this 1920 collection of his early mathematical manuscripts-as well as some third-party commentary on them-continues to be essential to anyone wishing to understand Leibniz's contributions to modern science.Here students of the history of science and math lovers alike will enjoy Leibniz's thoughts on the infinitesimal calculus, including a series of manuscripts from 1675, 1676, and 1677, plus the essays "Leibniz in London" and "Leibniz and Pascal" by German scholar C.I. Gerhardt.
