Focusing on the evolution of Newtonian calculus from 1700 to 1810, the book examines the distinct trajectory of British mathematics, which diverged from European developments for over a century. Contrary to the belief that British math declined post-Newton, the author reveals that significant advancements were made, laying crucial foundations for future reforms. Key figures such as Isaac Newton, Roger Cotes, and Thomas Bayes are highlighted, making this work valuable for students and researchers in the history of science and mathematics.
