David Gregory’s inaugural lecture at Oxford
It was not long before I, with immense Pains, but no Assistance, set myself with the utmost Zeal to the Study of Sir Isaac Newtons wonderful Discoveries in his Philosophiae NaturalisPrincipia Mathematica, one or two of which Lectures I had heard him read in the publick Schools, though I understood them not at all at that Time. Being indeed greatly excited thereto by a Paper of Dr. s when he was Professor in Scotland; wherein he had given the most…

The Geometrical Background to the “Merton School”: An Exploration into the Application of Mathematics to Natural Philosophy in the Fourteenth Century
At the end of the last century Paul Tannery published an article on geometry in eleventh-century Europe, which he began with the following statement: “This is not a chapter in the history of science; it is a study of ignorance, in a period immediately before the introduction into the West of Arab mathematics.”
Swineshead on Falling Bodies: An Example of Fourteenth-Century Physics
The “Scientific Revolution” of the seventeenth century cannot adequately be assessed without an appreciation of the achievements and limitations of those, whether giants or dwarfs, on whose shoulders Galileo and his contemporaries stood. And since for many historians Galileo's main contribution lies in the mathematization of the natural world and especially of time and motion, particular interest attaches to medieval treatises dealing with these …
