The Doctrine and Application of Fluxions, Vol. 1: Containing (Besides What Is Common on the Subject) A Number of New Improvements in the Theory (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book introduces Isaac Newton’s discovery of fluxions, a method of finding the rate of change, which laid the foundations of modern calculus. Calculus is used extensively today to solve complex problems in many scientific fields, including physics, chemistry, engineering, and economics. This book begins by explaining the need for a mathematical method to describe continuous change, before exploring fluxions. It proceeds to demonstrate the applications of fluxions to geometry, physics, and other areas, highlighting the power of fluxions in solving previously intractable problems. The author delves into the historical context of Newton’s discovery, exploring how it emerged as a response to the limitations of existing mathematical techniques. The book also discusses the relationship between fluxions and other mathematical concepts, such as derivatives, integrals, and differential equations. The discussion of fluxions is contextualized within Newton’s broader contributions to physics and mathematics, making this book an insightful read for anyone interested in the history of mathematics or the development of calculus. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of fluxions, their historical significance, and their enduring legacy in shaping contemporary mathematical thought.
