From the Back Cover
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,

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the groundbreaking work of a little-known mathematician who paved the way for the invention of the Infinitesimal Calculus, a crucial tool in modern mathematics. The author meticulously examines the work of this mathematician, placing it within the context of the scientific revolution of the 17th century. This period saw the emergence of new ideas about the universe and the development of new methods for understanding it. The book explores the interplay between geometry and algebra, highlighting how the mathematician's innovative approach to calculus, based on geometric constructions and the concept of infinitely small increments, laid the foundation for the more analytical methods later developed by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. Through detailed analysis and insightful commentary, the author reveals the mathematician's often overlooked genius and his significant contribution to the development of calculus, ultimately demonstrating how his work shaped the course of mathematical thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330146880_0
