Sir Isaac Newton's Enumeration Of Lines Of The Third Order: Generation Of Curves By Shadows, Organic Description Of Curves And Construction Of Equations By Curves - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

It is the object of the present volume to place witliin reacli of the student a work to which he is frequentlyreferred in the course of his reading, hut which lie will seldom have the opportunity of consulting, unless he happens to be possessed of the quarto edition of Sir I. Newton swork; for the Enumeratio linearum tertii ordinis, originally printed as an appendix to the treatise on Optics, and subsequently in the Opuscula, has not hitherto been published in a separate form. In 1717, Mr. Stirling, of Balliol College, Oxford, published his commentary on this work, entitled II- lustratio tractatus D. Newtoni de enumeratione linearum tertii ordinis; but this book, though reprinted at Paris in 1797, is now scarce, and beyond the reach of the general reader.
