商品簡介
Over the last forty years Professor Hall has been a major contributor to the a€?new viewa€? of Newton now generally accepted. Essentially this has derived from the bringing to light and examination of Newtona€?s vast, but long neglected legacy of manuscripts, and the first studies in this volume illustrate the wealth of information these provide on the earliest phases of his great discoveries in mathematics and science. In particular, they confirm the intensity and originality of Newtona€?s investigations before and through the a€?anni mirabilesa€? of 1665-66. Further papers then deal with his relations with contemporaries such as Hooke, Leibniz and Huyghens, again making extensive use of unpublished manuscript material, and with the developing influence of his work.
